I see a lot of examples of how to convert Water's HTML objects into
strings, but I can't find any examples of how to convert a string of
HTML into hypertext objects.

I am downloading a web page and trying to parse it. I'm using the
content attribute of the <web/> object to get the contents of the site
as a string. It seems to me that it should be natural in Water to get
the entire webpage I am downloading as objects.

Here's how I download the page:

<set x=<web "http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/Kobayashi00information.html"/> />

I'm getting the content like so:

x.content
