Acoording to documentation, only a few exceptions should inherit
directly from Exception, most should inherit from StandardError.
However, HTMLParser.HTMLParseError doesn't conform:

isinstance(HTMLParser.HTMLParseError("foo"),StandardError) --> False

Actually, the new advice to derive from Exception since StandardError is
being removed in Python 3.
