Known Subclasses:: RobustInsanelyWackAssHTMLParser

The MinimalSoup class is for parsing HTML that contains pathologically bad markup. It makes no assumptions about tag nesting, but it does know which tags are self-closing, that <script> tags contain Javascript and should not be parsed, that META tags may contain encoding information, and so on.

This also makes it better for subclassing than BeautifulStoneSoup or BeautifulSoup.
