[Ken Ray]

Mark, so you mean you can do this:
 
<myTag><innerTag></myTag></innerTag>

Yes I can see that. It will also not work for MTML because a part of one
element tag set can begin inside of another element tag set and end
outside of it in MTML. This was a primary issue while defending off XML
innovators several years ago when I started experimenting with it. The
PNLP handler is not effected by this problem, and at this point it is
still the fastest choice. Where I see an advantage is in some of MTML's
multimedia handling tag sets that could be easier to script with
perlRegEx.
