Henri is coming from the "I've had to actually write an HTML parser" world. 
Having two different sets of rules, A and B, with rules A being used to 
determine when to start or stop using rules B, is a major implementation pain. 
Especially when one really wants to use an off-the-shelf solution for B because 
implementing B correctly is not as easy as it seems (judging by the number of 
incorrect implementations I've seen).
