Thanks Bruce. I did notice after if I had something like:
<ul>
<li>This is my "Book 1"</li>
<li>Book 2</li>
<li>Book 3</li>
</ul>
and the cursor was in "Book 1" that Balance will grab inside the quotes
where the Balance Tags gets everything in the tags of course. I guess I was
just seeing similar behavior because I was not in another enclosing pair of
(), {} or whatever.
