We're trying to avoid that, since Cow is only an XML parser.  What we're 
missing is a proper HTML parser, which can be built on top of XMLM easily 
enough.  Just needs someone to map the XMLM signals onto the HTML-specific 
rules (some tags shouldn't be closed at all, and a set of entities is 
predefined).

So for now, think of Cow.Html as actually being Cow.XHtml, and you should be 
set.
