 Replying to [comment:20 kitchin]:
 > I'm just reporting the change in behavior, I don't know how important it
 is. "Well-formed HTML" is tricky and I'm not sure can really be handled by
 lookaheads in regexes, as opposed to tokenizing and switch statements, but
 I'm probably over my head here.

 So the change in behavior is that HTML that was never valid in wptexturize
 is now also invalid inside of shortcodes?  Can we write this off as
 undefined behavior?  Or is someone actually using shortcodes to avoid
 wptexturize from handling their invalid HTML?
