No, it starts to parse as XML. If it finds a special area (the XML DTEP 
tells us which kind of special areas can be inside), starts to parse in 
a "quick" way this to find the end of the area. Inside the node tree 
for the special area there will be created only one node (IIRC, maybe 3 
if the start and end nodes are created as part of the special area). 
Once the XML parsing is over, as soon as there is time for it, the 
parser goes through the node tree and parser in detail all those 
special area nodes and during this in detail parsing the node tree is 
completed.

I fail to see why it is different what we have now from what you say.

Sure. Actually there was no "real" DTEP created for JavaScript ever, so 
right now Quanta parses in a generic way (searches for { } structures 
for example, if I'm right. I wrote that part quite a long time ago.)
