Looks okay, yes.

You may be interested to know that Michael Sheets has been working on  
an XHTML strict syntax which not only mark  up every single tag/ 
attribute, but also marks up invalid stuff (like badly nested tags,  
text where no text is allowed etc.)

It's in the Experimental HTML bundle at the repository, but it'll be  
included when he gives the green light.

Because (?options:subexp) is not a capture, so you actually need:
             begin = "<((?i:img))\\b";

An alternative form would be:
             begin = "(?i)<(img)\\b";
