Some microformat-related tests fail with current BeautifulSoup versions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Current versions of BeautifulSoup cause four unit tests to fail. I've found and 
fixed the source of the problem, and have tested it across every combination of 
Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7 with BeautifulSoup 3.0.8, 3.0.8.1, and 3.2.0. (I 
skipped the 3.1 series entirely because the author considers it a failed 
experiment.)

If it's helpful, I've additionally pushed a git branch to github:
https://github.com/kurtmckee/feedparser/tree/beautifulsoup

If there are additional considerations or changes that would make this patch 
more acceptable, please don't hesitate to let me know. It applies cleanly to 
svn trunk (currently r316).

• Changed state: Fixed

I just ran into this bug again; the two elmAgent lines shown in the patch need 
to be removed or the bug persists.

Looks like I did this manually rather than applying the patch. I've fixed it 
now in revision 328
