Sure.  An example would be the texinfo parser which just goes off and 
parses everything by hand.   Of course, all emacs text scanning 
functions depend on a syntax table, so that is just using some default.

I'm not sure if syntax tables are extensible.  There are some text scan 
features that directly use syntax tables that might be extensible with a 
semantic feature, but I'm not sure what that might be.
