Or maybe another way of this problem could be to define tags that can have sub-nodes instead of elements. For example, instead of <bean:define id="door" name="mouse"/> you would be able to write:
<bean:define> <id>door</id> <name>mouse</name> </bean:define> Then 'door' and 'mouse' could be substituted by any valid XML expression. Is this idea reasonable? I've little experience of writing tags.
