Fine by me. The only concern is the performance here. Macro would have to be played, output recorded and after that omitTag invoked. I'd rather do it otherwise.
As is usually, my advice is that unless you know what the performance hit will be in advance, implement, test and if the performance is unacceptable, profile and only when you know exactly what the cause is, optimize. Quite often the obvious performance bottleneck, isn't. Similarly, though the expected bottleneck shows up just where expected, the performance hit is much milder then expected and performance is acceptable.
I don't mean to suggest that you don't even think about performance at this point, just that we concentrate on functionality. If you can show by past experience that implementing in a certain way will slow things to a crawl, then by all means, show us and suggest a way around them.
