Not at all, thanks for the report.

I wonder what could be done in js-mode, too. A 
syntax-propertize-function rule, maybe.

They also set that variable to t anyway. The only possible danger might 
come from sgml-mode, which does not do that.

I'm not sure which danger exactly, because all examples in 
test/indent/js-jsx.js seem to behave identically whether js--as-sgml 
includes the parse-sexp-lookup-properties binding or not.

Jackson, could you maybe shed some light on this?
