Yes I can see that. It will also not work for MTML because a part of one element tag set can begin inside of another element tag set and end outside of it in MTML. This was a primary issue while defending off XML innovators several years ago when I started experimenting with it. The PNLP handler is not effected by this problem, and at this point it is still the fastest choice. Where I see an advantage is in some of MTML's multimedia handling tag sets that could be easier to script with perlRegEx.
