Just FYI, I finally cornered Cliff Schmidt about this, and he says we
can go ahead and use tagsoup.  There's a small possibility some people
might object to its license due to clause 9 of the AFL, but most
people seem to be ok with it, and it'll be in the final version of his
3rd party code policy document.  For now, since there's no official
policy on such things anyway we can just go ahead and use it.
