That's probably not worth it. I was mostly just wanting to reduce parse
time of the perl script by turning everything into plain text. Reducing
links to a set makes sense since it doesn't require a lot of work and it
will minimise crawling on the perl script side.

Btw, is there any way to get the base URI of a document *whilst* parsing
it?
