mhtxthtml.pl filter modified to fix exploit. Other modifications
done to improve the robustness of filtering along with rejecting
HTML that is too malformed to be legitimate HTML data.

If HTML filtering has not been disabled, and if using mhonarc's
mhtxthtml.pl filter to filter HTML data, a specially crafted
<base href> tag in the HTML can be lead to an XSS exploit
of the web archive site.
