Not really true in this case. WebKit's previous HTML parser is similar in complexity to the HTML5 parser. Adding a second HTML parser would have been more code, more complexity, and a more complex test matrix.

Complexity does not increase linearly with number of lines of code. 110k lines can easly be 5x as complex as 100k lines of code.
