At least it strips only HTML tags, not all XML tags it encounters in  
a stream. And it does not strip the contents within <script /> tags.  
If you count this as an additional value. This program seems to be  
very lightweight, without a interpreter overhead. If you only need  
the HTML tags stripped without a pretty formatting like the output of  
a Lynx dump this would be for you.

Kind regards,
