You're right, it doesn't make sense to create half an HTML element. It does
make sense, however, to generate one "output" HTML element as a result of
encountering a fairly complex input XML pattern. So if we want to avoid the
need to generate HTML in a piecemeal manner, we need to match larger
patterns in the XML input. The current facilities for matching start and end
of a sequence of elements separately are simply incompatible with the idea
of generating the start and end of an HTML entity as a unit.
