So I got wasabee_text.adb to compile, and forgetting momentarily that it wants to fetch a URL, not read a local file, I typed "wasabee_text.exe discogs.html", and it said:

...

This document is not an XHTML document

So is this supposed to be an HTML 4/5 parser, or an XHTML parser?

Also, I suggest you add "-gnatwe" to your compiler flags; treat warnings as errors. Most of the warnings I saw where style-based, but it gives a bad impression for a project claiming to have "a focus on user safety".
