Before you go to the work of implementing it, I'd recommend looking at
CSS1&2 and XML, and see if the functionality you're looking for isn't
there already.

You might look at amaya, which is open-source, and so should be
modifyable.
You might also work with XML, which lets you define your own tags.

I'm not sure on this one.  If you're not part of a company that's a
member of the W3C, and don't want to spend $5k a year to become one, I
think the best you could do is submit your suggestion to this forum.
