Hi Graham, You should look at this thread which contains interesting information on how to create custom element parsers: https://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit-contributors/browse_thread/thread/4d79f729030527c5/181973c17d16cbc0?lnk=gst&q=custom+element+parser#181973c17d16cbc0
My understanding of the key points is: a/ You officially cannot create your own element parser (there is no publicly supported API for that) b/ However, because GWT is open source, you can easily patch one or two classes, put them at the head of your classpath and create your own element parsers (though with no guarantee that they will not be broken by future GWT evolutions). c/ rjrjr mentions a possible public API for this in a later release, possibly 2.1. However, if you listen to this webcast (http:// code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/gwt-ui-overhaul.html) from IO 2010, the possibility for a public API seems more remote (somebody asks the question at the end of the session) I have used this myself extensively to map SVG tags in UiBinder. If you are interested, you can look here (http://www.vectomatic.org/lib- gwt-svg/uibinder-integration-with-lib-gwt-svg) for an article about this work and here (http://www.vectomatic.org/mvn-sites/lib-gwt-svg/ xref/org/vectomatic/dev/svg/impl/gen/SVGButtonBaseParser.html) for source code.
