You may care to look back at my HTML+ proposal from 1993 which made
provision for author extensions to the DTD for phrase markup using
hooks in the DTD and the document type subset. HTML+ also allowed
you to specify the rendering for such tags, but this is better
handled via style sheets. Perhaps I should put a hook into Cougar
for such tags. For the current state of the Cougar spec see:
