Bug: Tidy can handle this but BeautifulSoup can't (YET :P)

[All Marx]

So this is more of a bug of the terrible HTML author of a document I
needed to parse. But basically, the following will break the parser
and not give the expected results:

>>>
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

html = '''
<table>
<tr>
<td height="20">This element is fine</td>
<td class = "xyz"width="200">This one hacks the gibson</td>
<td>I won't be seen :(</td>
</tr>
</table>
'''

s = BeautifulSoup(html)
print s.prettify()

>>>
<table>
<tr>
<td height="20">
This element is fine
</td>
</tr>
</table>
>>>


So you notice how the spacing between the = sign and the attribute,
and also how the " quote touches another attribute.

Anyways thought I'd let you guys know so you can fix it, Tidy was able
to handle this error.

All Marx,

Try out Beautiful Soup 3.0.7a or the version at Git Hub. That HTML
parses correctly in the 3.0.x series, but not the 3.1.x series.
