Yes; unfortunately, most web pages are neither well-formed XML nor valid 
XHTML, and many aren't even valid HTML.

Writing a thing which can handle any tagsoup doesn't seem like much fun.

If you know that you'll only have to deal with XHTML (templates in a 
templating framework for example), then you can subclass REXML's classes.
