RegExps are not powerful enough to parse XML/HTML. You are right about that,
but, once I switch to XML, there must be an easier way than this to take care of
details, don't you think?

This is not a detail. This is fundamental. Well-formedness is at the core of XML, and XOM supports that. It generates XML, not HTML. You can generate well-formed HTML or XHTML if you like. XOM will not generate tag soup.
