The modules use regexes. They just spend more time on them and make them 
better than you could on the fly.  Plus, I don't see what's keeping you 
from writing a rule that matches a tag. I think it would go something like 
this:

        rule tag($name) {:w \< $name %opts:=[ (\S+)=(\S+) ]* \> }

Then, you can match an img tag with:

        / <tag 'img'> /

See, isn't that great?
