Well, no… The author *needs* to know the elements, or the end result is that someone who happens to have a spoiler marks it up with #### SPOILER AHEAD #### text instead of <spoiler> because he doesn’t know about its existence. The same problem can already be seen with the current limited set of elements, like <dfn> & co. So, giving HTML an abundance of generally unimportant elements will not result in those elements being used. More so, it will harm the rest of XHTML because the spec becomes too big for authors to oversee. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
