Dear Jari,

thank you for your help! This really got me going !
I'm not the author of the website, so I can't change that.
However, rather than to force an HTML parser to process invalid tags
correctly, couldn't the Browser#text method be changed to raise
an error, if Browser#xml actually returned a response ?

Best regards,

Axel
