Comment (by dmsnell):

 In [changeset:"57768" 57768]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="57768"
 HTML API: Ensure that breadcrumbs are properly retained after seeking.

 In some cases, it's possible to seek back into a location found inside
 an element which has been closed before the point in the document where
 the `seek()` was made. In these cases the breadcrumb stack is lost, and
 calling `get_breadcrumbs()` after the seek will return the wrong
 information.

 In this patch, the HTML Processor takes a conservative approach and
 moves to the front of the document, then reparses the document until
 it reaches the sought-after location. This ensures consistency on
 the stack of open elements and active formats, and preserves
 breadcrumbs.
