reading html as sxml (Was: [plt-scheme] Re: plt-scheme Digest, Vol 8, Issue 1)

One way to read the HTML from Google's home page into SXML that can be
processed by the SXML tools Dmitry Lizorkin distributes is using
HtmlPrag:

    (require (lib "url.ss" "net")
             (planet "htmlprag.ss" ("neil" "htmlprag.plt" 1 3)))

    (html->sxml (get-pure-port (string->url "http://www.google.com/")))

I'm not familiar with "read-html-as-xml".
