To retain some vestige of HTML or XML syntax, I believe this would
have to look like
<IF>
<ELSE>
</ELSE>
</IF>
and so on. Otherwise the tags don't nest meaningfully. This kind of
thing is easy to hack into a parser but SGML/HTML/XML tools won't
necessarily understand it. Unless I'm just missing something...
