Right now, IIUC, it's impossible to find a place to begin parsing
quickbook without going back to the beginning of the document.

It's *almost* true that you can look back for "\n[ \t]*\n" to find a
paragraph break, and start there, but unfortunately we have ``...``
and '''...''' constructs within which you can have as many consecutive
newlines as you like. (Right?) That it extremely difficult to get
emacs syntax highlighting to work correctly in all cases.

I'm just noting this in order to raise awareness of these kinds of
issues so that we will tend to make choices that don't raise them.
