TITLE Beautiful Soup to-do

<h1>To-do</h1>

<p>With the release of Beautiful Soup 3.0, almost everything on my
to-do list is implemented, and I'm satisfied with the maturity of the
project. I don't plan to work on it much in the future, unless someone
finds a terrible bug in it or comes up with a way to speed it up.

<p>I do know of two features that could be added to Beautiful Soup, but I'm not
in a big hurry to add them.

<ol>

<li>A generator method croaks if you modify the soup while using it
(for instance, you try to use <code>recursiveChildGenerator</code> to
strip comments from a soup). It would be nice if soups chould be
modified during an iteration, with something like Java's
<code>Iterator.remove</code>.

<li>XPath support. It shouldn't be too hard to parse at least some
XPath commands and implement them in Beautiful Soup. I have a patch to
print out the XPath address of an element, but I haven't applied it
yet; I'm waiting for some more complete XPath support.

</ol>
