HTMLParser currently has no support for the huge_tree argument, which makes it impossible to correctly parse html documents with large text nodes.
This has been reported as an issue for Scrapy (scrapy/scrapy#3077), and I was able to trace it back to lxml.

The argument is already documented in http://lxml.de/parsing.html#parser-options, so I don't think documentation changes are necessary, other than the already-changed docstring.

There also seem to be no tests for the huge_tree option of the XMLParser, so I haven't added any for this (not that I can see a reasonable way to test this).
