configuring unknown tags

dear madam or sir,
although tidy's latest version (26.07.1999) claims to offer the
possibility of extending its knowledge of html tags, I couldn't get it
to accept Netscape's <multicol> ... </multicol>.
my configuration file looks like:
// config file for HTML tidy
new-blocklevel-tags: multicol
indent: auto
indent-spaces: 2
wrap: 72
// snip ...
what went wrong?
thank you for your kind consideration.
