I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. XSLT

malformed XML shouldn't really apply. Of course, the standard command

with XSLT are handled separately.
Interesting. In that case, theoretically, you could use an HTML5
parser, which is guaranteed to *always* produce a DOM even on random
garbage input (much like wikitext!). Now, who's up for writing an
HTML5 parser in PHP whose performance is acceptable? I thought not.
:P
Anyway, my other points (e.g., may as well use PHP instead if you want
that much power) still hold.
