 Synopsis:            Parse HTML documents using xml-conduit datatypes.
 Description:         This package uses tagstream-conduit for its parser. It automatically balances mismatched tags, so that there shouldn't be any parse failures. It does not handle a full HTML document rendering, such as adding missing html and head tags.
