Out of our experience, using a single analyzer is probably not such a
good idea. When analyzing HTML, we even use different (and scaffolded)
analyzers for the main body, and the INPUT tags. It is also true that
our analysis was unorthodox, because we were optimizing it for
performance for our specific case.
