Depending on the source of the content - I doubt it!  If the HTML being
parsed comes 'from the wild', there's a 99% chance that it's irregular - not
well-formed HTML, let alone XHTML or XML.

And I'd wouldn't have thought that mixed case would be an issue with
matchText - IIRC, it's case insensitive unless specifically asked not to be.
Whereas XML on the other hand is defined by spec to be case-sensitive; so a
'proper' parser, if behaving 'correctly', should choke on the above example
- whereas Keith would probably rather it accepted it.
