We have a policy to only include new elements to the DTD that are in line with XHTML2.One of the reasons for moving to XHTML2 is that it is extensible through its modules, somewhat similar to what Erik was describing in this post.Erik, if you can develop your extension ideas in line with the extension mechanisms in XHTML2 I think you will find us much more welcoming of your ideas ;-)
Ok, I will have a look at XHTML2 and start figuring out how to implement the feature. Right now, I am developing and maintaining a custom extension for Forrest 0.7, and would like to have a more definitive solution that is not only maintained by me.
Perhaps the extension mechanism I outlined above would be useful as an extension mechanism for documents.Yes, but only if we can make it fit within the XHTML2 extension mechanism. Note that using a plugin in Forrest and a module in the schema should address the concerns you raise with respect to source resolution (i.e. the plugin extends the sitemap to deal with the new schemas).
I will also have a look at the plugin mechanism in Forrest. It should be relatively easy to do since I already know many of the problems that I will encounter.
Cheers Erik
