Attached is a new, experimental, test version that uses newer HTML parser libraries (BeautifulSoup4 and html5lib) for fanfiction.net, archiveofourown.org, ficwad.com and tthfanfic.org; and for some internal parts. This is a change that cryzed has been working and lobbying for.

The newer parser is (in theory) more forgiving of poor HTML code, better equipped to deal with Unicode, and easier to work with for the developers.

I've been using it for a couple weeks and I've fixed the problems I've found, but it won't surprise me when more crop up.

Only try this if you're willing to deal with potential issues. That said, I would appreciate feedback from testers. Thanks.
