FWIW, I am actually not parsing HTML, I am generating it from RTF docs. I wanted a simple rtf2html converter that didn't mark up the page with every possible style anyone can think of (which every converter I have tried does), and just give the basic p, blockquote, i, b, u, and colored text spans. It does 90% of the tedious work, and is much easier than trying to fix the scary html that the other converters spit out.

(ps, I like my html pages to look good and readable, and I don't like spaces where they aren't needed.)
