Is it? I think that Quanta is currently analysing the document first and then 
starts the parsing.
I would like to have a solution where we start the parsing and detect the 
begin of a special area, switch the parse modus and switch back when we 
detect the end of the special area. 
So one parser run should be enough to parse the HTML/XML and through out the 
special areas. Do you see any reason why this should not work?

So we could improve Quanta further if we would parse Javascript as well?
