Interesting.  In that case, theoretically, you could use an HTML5
parser, which is guaranteed to *always* produce a DOM even on random
garbage input (much like wikitext!).  Now, who's up for writing an
HTML5 parser in PHP whose performance is acceptable?  I thought not.
:P

Anyway, my other points (e.g., may as well use PHP instead if you want
that much power) still hold.
