Yeah, I think I've seen this before.  I'm glad someone else noticed it
too -- I thought I was losing my mind!  Do you think it would help if,
whenever we get back HTML'd data, we try the query again a few more
times, to see if the HTML goes away?  Or, would it be better to just
rip out the HTML tags and make sure the results "look like" a genbank
record, to make sure Entrez is not telling me that there's no such
record?
