Just a note. I have always wanted to do this too. Certain elements I just wish I could use my own tags.
Thanks for bringing it up!

I'm thinking about creating my own doctype/DTD and adding some new tags.
Instead of having <div class="foo"> or <span class="foo"> I'd like to simpy have <foo> tag.
<div> and <span> have no semantic meaning, and <foo> in practice would have no meaning either, but there are some advantages:
- less to write
- validator can check these against dtd
- getElementsByTagName
I could start using XHTML2 <section> tag :)
This won't be block tag for current browers, but if it starts and ends with block elements, there will be no problem.
What do you think about the idea? useful/harmful?
Do you know any user-agents that won't accept such tags? or misbehave with custom dtd?
Maybe I should use namespace instead of creating pseudoHTML?
