Are you creating custom DTD's or 1.1 XHTML Mods then? I'd like to see that, it's something I'd toyed with a few times in the past but found it far too time consuming (even for me), and opted for the ol' redefine everything in CSS *lightbulb* :: runs off to try css on custom tags <why have i never tried that before> :: <ponders accessibility..> :: wanders off to waste time researching anyways> Robert Cummings wrote:

Decorators?
Custom tags (XML style ones anyways) provide support for arbitrary ordering and omission of optional attributes. They nest nicer than function calls, and they have the same general formatting as the HTML with which you are working. Additionally, they provide the opportunity to punt anything not necessary at run-time to pre-compiled HTML. Cheers, Rob.
