How should

Note that the default BeautifulSoup behaviour is to not parse anything inside an <iframe>. Here is a minimal example taken from the failing code in #37.

> print(str(BeautifulSoup("<iframe><span></span></iframe>")))
> <html><head></head><body><iframe>&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</iframe></body></html>

Easiest solution here is to blacklist iframe. Can revisit this in the future.
