Research direction

Start with the HTMLParser.reset and HTMLParser.handle_data entry points named in the issue, then review linked PR gh-152040 for the current approach. Check how reset interacts with pending parser data and identify the regression coverage needed to confirm that handle_data is not invoked after reset.
