Description

Nutch uses LinkContentHandler for collection hyperlinks, and does not report any hyperlink for http://www.ronaldmcdonaldhouse.co.uk/ which i'll also attach to this ticket.

Debugging LinkContentHandler to print element names in startElement reveals only very few HTML elements get reported, which i think is incorrect.

Our own parser in Nutch uses a custom ContentHandler and does report many elements, including hyperlinks.
