I was reading the following proposal on Zend_Filter_Bbcode the other day, and somebody on there, as well as on other similar proposals, mentioned that we shouldn't use regular expressions because it might end up with badly formed XHTML. I didn't quite understand that, so could somebody please elucidate for me.
