Guido suggested that we replace the XML parser with a plain old HTML parser
to ease HTML into ZPT. This is a big change and opens a lot of questions...
What does it mean for ZPT to accept non-XML input. Aside from the parser
change, what does this change imply?

Will it mislead folks into thinking they can just use an arbitrary HTML
editor (and remember, they can't if the HTML editor mucks with namespaces or
attributes).

Also, how does this affect elements that weren't entered with end tags?:
 <p tal:replace="foo"> Hello world <bold>how are you?</bold>
 <h1>A header without a preceding end paragraph</h1>

Is this an issue?
