Gisle -

In general, I don't think so.

However, I would simply like to re-use the TreeBuilder module for
parsing a stylized version of HTML.  I am parsing files that contain
nested blocks of <html> and <body> tags.  I can re-use the TreeBuilder
module verbatim for this purpose except for it not allowing nested
<body> and <html> tags.
