My assessment of this as a bug has nothing to do with the use of
those pairs by any programming or markup language, but rather by
their use in ordinary text. % is useful for moving the cursor
between those pairs regardless of the context. If % works for (
and ) in plain text, it should continue to work for ( and ) in
text embedded in HTML.
