You can use a list as the search parameter. For example:
Code:
tags = soup.find_all(['i', 'b', 'small', 'br'])

You can use a

Yes, they're treated like all other tags.

You can delete tags with
decompose(). However, since this modifies the "soup," it should be done last.

I also think it should be moved to plugins.
