beg-end.el

at

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~a-roehler/s-x-emacs-werkstatt

is an essay for such a parser

see thing-at-point-markup.el too, which serves markup-languages as xml, html

thing-at-point-utils.el offers functions to grasp everything between 
angles - and does count nesting.

try ar-angled-lesser-atpt for example

all this needs

thingatpt-utils-base.el,

where the core routines reside.

Have a look, how the parser mentioned is employed via 
beginning-of-form-base, end-of-form-base from there.
