No I think I'm talking about the same thing. In (Web)SGML Document type
Declarations are unneeded, so just as in XML, you can use undeclared
elements. If you want to make you own extension, you can come of with
your own architectural form, or just use undeclared elements.
This is my understanding.

Architectural forms I think do the trick.
