| More of the jQuery API: nextUntil? |

| Optimizations |
| ------------- |
| |
| The html5lib tree builder doesn't use the standard tree-building API, |
| which worries me and has resulted in a number of bugs. |
| |
| markup_attr_map can be optimized since it's always a map now. |
| |
| Upon encountering UTF-16LE data or some other uncommon serialization |
| of Unicode, UnicodeDammit will convert the data to Unicode, then |
| encode it at UTF-8. This is wasteful because it will just get decoded |
| back to Unicode. |
| |
| CDATA |
| ----- |
| |
| The elementtree XMLParser has a strip_cdata argument that, when set to |
| False, should allow Beautiful Soup to preserve CDATA sections instead |
| of treating them as text. Except it doesn't. (This argument is also |
| present for HTMLParser, and also does nothing there.) |
| |
| Currently, htm5lib converts CDATA sections into comments. An |
| as-yet-unreleased version of html5lib changes the parser's handling of |
| CDATA sections to allow CDATA sections in tags like <svg> and |
| <math>. The HTML5TreeBuilder will need to be updated to create CData |
| objects instead of Comment objects in this situation. |
