These rules are not really flexible enough.  For example:
<img src="foo.gif" alt="A picture of a foo.">
Now how will you tell it to ignore the img, src="foo.gif", and alt but
not the "A picture of a foo."

Also what makes up and EOParagraph?  And what is the difference between
5 and 6.

I want to right now focus in a way to let others easily add filters via
code.  This way I filter like you described can be designed on top of my
existing system.
