Steven,
My company's product will let you define your own tag and then will
translate them into HTML for you. In particular, the tags you define match
very closely with SGML/HTML's lexical rules and syntax, so you'll be well
positioned for the arrival of XML implementation...

How 'bout this:
<define name=myf6>
<font face="Times" size=6>
<contents>
</font>
</define>
and then:
<myf6>text</myf6>
Our solution happens either on the server or in advance of that (i/e/. on
your authoring machine). Info at http://www.pragmaticainc.com/
