"""
transform an HTML <dl> file into a fluxbox menu
if no file give, read from stdin

<dl><a>submenu name</a>
  <dt>program label</dt><dd>command</dd>
  <dt>another program label</dt><dd>command2</dd>
</dl>

x-form -> internal format:

('submenu name': [('program label', 'command'),
                  ('another program label', 'command2')])

     - add graphterm: graphterm (should be in ~/k0s/)
       * if a menu has a single item, that is *the* implementor to that interface! :)
     - display fluxbox menu items by `title` attribute, if possible
       * (see class-based usage below)
     - something about && for joining
     - class-based usage (class="shell|...")
       * and is the shell persistent? small? etc.
       * also, sudo! (or other access related thing)
       * resolve: xmessage v gmessage v xosd_cat etc
       * classes: shell, root, message
     - an easier way of editing o_O
       * add an item to a menu
       * submenu
     - utility to find missing commands
     - utility to add command + (e.g. ubuntu) install
     - python package for all of this
       * ...which also sets up the whole html2flux thing
     - ....and the 50 billion dollar problem is:
       How to integrate $(this) and http://k0s.org/portfolio/ubuntu-packages.txt
       * these should have classifiers and ultimately work in to toolbox
     - can a workflow be mapped to a (X; and, tbf, hierarchal) menu?!?
       * YOU'RE SEEING IT, RIGHT?
     - that said, a hierachal menu...ain't the best; maybe something like
       dasher....
     - to that effect, amonst others, menu items of the same set
       should be added multiple places.  that is to say, the menu item
       indicated as `[foo][bar]fleem` could also live under
       `[bar][foo]fleem`
