Changes from 1.0.2b7:

    +   Fixed bug with nested raw HTML tags that contained
        attributes. The problem is that it uses a backreference in
        the expression that it passes to gen_extract_tagged, which
        is broken when Text::Balanced wraps it in parentheses.

        Thanks to Matt Kraai for the patch.
    
    +   Now supports URLs containing literal parentheses, such as:
    
            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMP_(computing)
        
        Such parentheses may be arbitrarily nested, but must be
        balanced.

Starting tomorrow, I'll be offline for the next week or so, but
after that I plan to finish off this beta. I'm thinking it
should probably be reversioned to 1.1, as the syntax has some
subtle differences.

Bug fixes and performance improvements = 1.1.

After that, syntax additions and changes for something we'll
either number 1.5 or 2.0.
