There are two examples I could see where this may be wanted
* <ref> tags so people could do nested ref stuff without {{#tag:ref hackery.
* <source> tag's for when highlighting xml-ish things that have a <source>
inside them (since they would usually have a closing source tag as well, but
that's more like accidentally fixing an issue then actually fixing an issue).
But I also tend to agree that it may not be worth the effort.
