Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Explanation of optimizations in the second patch:

 In this particular regexp, we are not actually looking for the end of an
 element, but the end of an element's name.  It is therefore not always
 necessary to find a `>` character because the name can also be delimited
 by whitespace.  For improved speed and readability, I have reduced this
 term to simply `[\s>]`  The same tests still pass.
