Indeed. But it’s still a somewhat less Augean task than cleaning up the totally mucked up OCR with an otherwise quite nice set of images from a Cambridge imprint of the King James Bible from the 1630’s.

The problem is not hoovering up the contents of the website. Its making something useful out of the resulting pile of nonstandard multiply redundant JavaScript infested pseudo html.
