\begin{methoddesc}{handle_starttag}{tag, method, attributes}
This method is called to handle start tags for which a start tag
handler is defined in the instance variable \member{elements}. The
\var{tag} argument is the name of the tag, and the \var{method}
argument is the function (method) which should be used to support semantic
interpretation of the start tag. The \var{attributes} argument is a
dictionary of attributes, the key being the \var{name} and the value
being the \var{value} of the attribute found inside the tag's
\code{<>} brackets. Character and entity references in the
\var{value} have been interpreted. For instance, for the start tag
\code{<A HREF="http://www.cwi.nl/">}, this method would be called as
\code{handle_starttag('A', self.elements['A'][0], \{'HREF': 'http://www.cwi.nl/'\})}.
The base implementation simply calls \var{method} with \var{attributes}
as the only argument.
