 WordPress already has an HTML parsing function in the form of
 WP_Press_This::source_data_fetch_fallback and its private called
 functions.

 Suggesting this be split off so it can be used elsewhere. Specifically, my
 use case is over on the Ping and Trackbacks component. One of the
 proposals I keep advocating for is improving the presentation.

 As we already have this code in WordPress that allows for parsing of HTML
 for images, embeds, meta tags, etc, it should be used over writing new
 code to do the same.

 But if it were to be called right now, it would reretrieve source HTML
 already retrieved by the Pingback code and passed into the comment array.
