I was thinking more from the input side rather than the output side. Tables
for example, are quite often used for layout reasons as opposed to
delivering tabular data. Throw in the use of colspan and the fact that some
cells will contain navigation and other cells will contain content or even
nested tables and it becomes somewhat confusing. I was curious as to how
these things are treated by the HTML stripper. Or is it a GUI thing, that
you highlight certain areas that you want extracted?
