Fair enough.

It wasn't an assumption I was making.  The assumption I *was* making was
that the library was biased to ensuring you had well-formed & correct
mark-up.  To me, I'd see the need to separate scopes to be something I'd
want to explicitly request rather than the other way around.

Not a big deal now that I know about the bang operator.
