Some plug-in projects that make use of your html editor like WOLips http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Home (an eclipse plug in for WebObjects http://www.apple.com/webobjects/ ) would greatly benefit from some form of API support for custom tags in html, in this case support for tags like <webobject name="someName">, </webobject> and <webobject name="someName" /> would be needed. Other projects like http://spindle.sourceforge.net/ (an eclipse plug in for tapestry http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/ ) would also profit from support for custom attributes in standard html tags like this <tr jwcid="@Foreach" source="ognl:dvds" value="ognl:dvd" element="tr">. I think some sort of hooks would do it, since I am just a user of those plug-ins I have no Idea if that would be sufficient for the purpose, at best you get in contact with the respective developers (URLs above)

regards, Lars

This is a great idea, but we don't have people to work on this just now.  There is still a chance it would fit in for 3.0, but we would accept high quality patches, regardless.
