The unit test for this plugin should be all functional now.  I had
forgot to update the test when I made the changes to the plugin.  I
also added a check to the test that looks for BeautifulSoup and it
will fail if it can't import it.

I'm not dead-set on the idea of using BeautifulSoup, though I find it
an incredibly useful and easy to use tool.  I played around a little
with html5lib, but it wasn't readily apparent to me how to use it in
the same capacity that I'm currently using BeautifulSoup.  The
documentation seems spare, to say the least.

All of my most current changes are locally checked into the same bzr
checkout as before:

Hopefully we are getting somewhere now.

Thanks,  Nathan
