Because some evil person could put, for example:
<table title="This <table> is really=cool">

And either make your regex extra complicated, if not impossible.

Far better to use DOM parsing for this sort of thing, and a good parser will 
have the intricacies of HTML built into it, so will be much simpler to use.
