    <thetext>This one could be pretty trivial to implement just by changing W3C::UserAgent to
inherit from LWP::RobotUA instead of LWP::UserAgent.

What&apos;s needed:
- Check if there are any side effects for the superclass change.
- Provide an option to behave badly, ie. not respect robots.txt.
- Make sure that the user understands whenever this causes 403&apos;s.</thetext>
