Streaming parsers generally perform better than multi-pass parsers, if only 
for reasons of memory allocation and access.

I think it will be imporant to think about the caching of the (parsed) DTD, so 
that the parsing engine knows what special tags have been defined, and knows 
how they need to be handled *before* loading the target HTML/XML/other 
sourcecode file.

As for the discussion of Javascript/PHP/etc inside some other tag 
(<script></script> or <?php ?>), I think that an editor 
parser/transformation/macro/special handling functionality really should 
apply to the contents of tags (including script code) and not just to 
HTML/XML/XHTML tags.
