> If not, why are we using a hand-made parser to parse the cwc2 tags?

Because we don't need a real parser. The current method is not a parser: it only
looks for the CWC2 tags using regular expressions and only does textual
replacements... it's as optimal as it gets while remaining very flexible and
easy to maintain.

A real parser would add tons of unnecessary overhead and probably wouldn't work
on HTML documents anyway: most of the time HTML doesn't validate as XML (I know
it could in theory, but people are lazy), and just an unclosed XML tag (such as
<p> or <br> which are extremely common) is enough to confuse any XML parser.
