There is no conceivable conformance checker that's going to allow the use
of completely arbitrary tag names. It doesn't matter what formalism it uses.
To allow custom tag names and still be able to check the conformance of
normal tag names, the only possibility is to limit the custom tag names to
some recognized prefix -- e.g., x-fancyButton or whatever.
