Funny. This actually changed in the trunk, as lxml 2.0 will no longer read
network resources by default (pass False for the "no_network" kw arg of the
parser if you want to enable it).

However, it should also fail the first time you do it. I'll have to see where
the problem is (libxml2 or lxml).

I'm also missing such an option. Looks like I should dig a little more.
