Python HTML Sanitizer

add support for html5lib's parser

Registered by dan mackinlay

http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/ has a python parser with better invalid markup prevention than BrauifulSoups's native one that can produce BeautifulSoup-compatible output. we should use it as the parse (optionally?)

Whiteboard

we now do use html5lib internally where it is available. the list of tags that is accepted could now be altered to reflect the sanitization assumptions of html5lib - http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Sanitization_rules - although that is such a large and liberal set of tags that this probably makes no difference to the bulk of users.
