On the surface it looks that way, but it's a little more complex than this. 
Each tag has its own handling code and thus must be special-cased.  Also when
the tag appears in the <head>, this is a different code path than when the tag
appears in the <body>.

I got stuck a couple months ago on Bug 3905 and Bug 6314 when someone found a
page in production that cause the tokenizer (and parser?) to "run out" of HTML
to process while a page was loading, but only because the network couldn't feed
the tokenizer/parser fast enough.  I need a reproducible test case for this
condition before I can fix the bug, and it's going to have to be an http test.

I was also hoping that not looking at the tokenizer/parser code for a couple
months would give me some fresh ideas when I went back to it.
