Um that might be allowable ersatz HTML but it's poorly formed XML, that's
for sure, you have a dangling pedant.
I would do it this way:
<geek mode=pedantic>Wampa Ice Creature<lar>(tm)</lar></geek>
("pedantic" now becomes an attribute value for the attribute "mode")
Don't make me make up the DTD, ok?

I think any thread (except thhreads in which the quality metric is itself
the main topic) that mentions the quality metric pretty much loses points on
that selfsame quality metric (1), or at least it should.
1 - by analogy with the notion that breaking the fourth wall can be overdone.
