Personally I'm not a fan of such feature. To me this doesn't bring much benefits especially that snippets pretty much allow this support such as:
<lift:MySnippet> <something:notlift attr="whatever" /> </lift:MySnippet> ...yes the wrapping tag is extra typing but still I can't find a real problem where a custom tags solves it and snippets do now. To me this looks like ... what I'd call "a false sense of extensibility". I mean at the first glance we allow people to define a tag soup (with or without naming overlaps) but then looking closely is that we didn't actually do too much. Snippets would do the job in a more "standardize" lift way IMO. For what I can tell the LiftRules.LiftTagPF should probably be deprecated. The debatable value that I could currently find in LiftTagPF is that people could overwrite Lift built in snippets with some proprietary implementation. However in practice this is not really needed .. I think. All in all I'd love to see some types of problems where custom tags would be a better fit.
