Looks ok.  But if it doesn't work as expected, you may want to
verify if two regexps match the actual html contents.  To do
that:

・Visit the page in question using emacs-w3m.
・Press the backslash key to show the html source.
・Eval (i.e. `M-:') these sexps one by one:
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (re-search-forward "whatever: begin" nil t)
  (re-search-forward "whatever: end" nil t)
