IIUC you additionally want to handle the "... " lines.

Feel free.

The usual:
- running the major mode might run "side-effecting code" from the user's
  hook.  I consider it a bug in the user's setup, but it does happen.
- it fails to take into account local modifications of the font-lock rules.
- ...

Nothing too terrible, I think.
