Note that improperly embedded non-HTML code (like client-side Javascript) may be parsed incorrectly by the ancestor, causing runtime script errors. All non-HTML code must be enclosed in HTML comment tags (<!-- code -->) to ensure that it will pass through this parser unaltered (in handle_comment).
Overrides: sgmllib.SGMLParser.unknown_starttag
