I've been trying some things with this module, and it's a bit hard going.

Now, how do you recommend combining two span tags? For example, I have this crufty html: 

<span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt; color:#00
+0080;">text</span></span>

I'd like to combine the two span tags, merging their style attributes: 
<span style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; color:#000080;">text</
+span></span>

Well, I know HTML::StripScripts has built in handling of style tags...

Now, if I do a callback for the span like 

my $p = HTML::StripScripts::Parser->new({
  Rules => {
    span => sub { my ($filter,$element) = @_;
                    print Dumper $element if $element->{content} =~ /^
+<span\W/;
                    1;
                },
    }
  }
);

then I get this result for the outer span: 
$VAR1 = {
          'content' => '<span style="font-size:10pt; color:#000080;">t
+ext</span>',
          'tag' => 'span',
          'attr' => {
                      'style' => 'font-family:Arial'
                    }
        };

How do you recommend to proceed from here? Should I parse the "content" again, and how?

Also... how do you remove tags but not its content? If I return '0' from this callback sub, then both the tags and the inner HTML are gone.
