The coding of Tag classes is actually not a very difficult thing to
learn.  I recommend you take a look at the source from Abey
Mullassery's image tags in commons sandbox to see how you can do all
this.  It really is not hard.  After about ten minutes study and ten
minutes coding, I had successfully subclassed the <html:image> class
to do some custom stuff I wanted.
