That problem turns out to be harder to solve than it at first appears because of legacy content that has to keep working. See [1] for some possible solutions and problems they have. It's not clear to me that all the problems listed should be regarded as fatal, so there is some hope that a solution can be found that doesn't require hardcoding all tag names in the parser.
