the "repeating" bit is what means Michael's comment doesn't apply. That
regexp is not trying to parse xml it;s trying to tokenize it to match
tags. It is not for example trying to match begin and end tags (which is
not possible with a regular language).
However it isn't trying to parse xml at all but some rather mre lax
xml/html/sgml-ish tag soup syntax,
as noted in the comments it explicitly tries to parse unquoted attribute
values such as huz=123 which are not well formed in XML and should
return a fatal parse error.
