I think your confusion comes from calling this a parser.  It's not a
fully-fledged SGML parser, just a "hack" to allow us to process out SGML
docs.  I'm still a bit torn here, but I think we might want to look at
taking advantage of the code in jade or openjade to do a real SGML to
XML conversion for us, on the fly (since it seems to only take a
fraction of a second for the conversion using sx/osx).  I don't know how
unfriendly that would be.
