What do you think it should do? My thought is that meta tags may or may not be void, but certainly should not be nested. As XML, I would parse that as <a></a> <script></script> <meta> <meta / > <body></body> *missing closing tag But for html, there is more cleanup. The catch is that this module probably can't keep up with BeautifulSoup or HTML5lib ... is this particular tag situation common enough to be even have a defined handling, let alone one that is worth adding to a "simple" module?
