See > http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/own-dtd.html I went that route for awhile, then I found out that html5 provided for everything I needed (html 5 media, autocomplete, custom attributes that I never intended for the browser to understand) and that I think is a much better route to go these days, even though it isn't yet finalized. The <time> tag is great for when you reference stuff in wikis - you can specify *when* the wiki said what you are referencing by wrapping the hyperlink to the source in the time tag. But I'm going off topic, I just think for most things, using a not yet finalized html 5 w/o mod is probably better than writing something custom.
