Just because I feel <headerone> or

specify a heading than <h1>, is it reasonable to expect a browser
maker to cater to my linguistic whim? And by extension, to anyone's
linguistic whim? Browsers don't handle any random tags, browsers work
with a previously defined subset. That's just how they work. Atom
feeds don't accept any old tags, either. OpenOffice.org documents,
though they be XML, handle only a specific set of tags. I'm sensing a
pattern.

I'm going back to my original wishlist of yesterday:

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get browsers to interpret ^ (or something) as meaning 'div id=' (and something else for 'class='). Then we could have, xml style code, such as:

<^pageborder>
<^content>
        blah blah
</content>
</pageborder>

MUCH more readable, and encouraging for semantic coding/markup?

:-)
