The weakness of RegEx is that you cannot formulate "exceptions" such
as "but not <Table>". In that case you would have to specify
everything that *is* still allowed, i.e. all possible HTML-tags except
the table one. Thus one would actually use either another formalism
(like generalized RegEx, that have "and" and negation) or use a real
parser.
