    readable_title = Document(html).short_title()




***
Known Issues

wget and parsing of wget is not as reliable as it should be.  wget sometimes
fails because the names of the local files that it tries create are too long,
so we end up with no local copy of necessary files.  The parsing is also not
that robust, so create incorrect mappings in the generated URL map.
