so seriously then, why not an html5 parser. That'll allow lone & and 
other ease of use features such as unquoted attributes and omited end tags.

It inherits a lot of unfortunate element-by-element weirdness due to 
(alledged) legacy browser constraints, but it has the advantage of being 
(almost) there and will have a rather large user base once it really 
gets going.
