This won't work, because the browsers won't support that proprietary
markup. This has nothing to do with the specs. (The same problem exists in
XML.)
That depends on the antecedent of "them". My request is that I be able
to add proprietary markup to HTML documents, and have the *documents*
be usable by text/html browsers. My own non-browser applications can
make use of the proprietary markup.
In other words, I wish to maintain the existing MUST IGNORE behavior of
current, legacy HTML browsers.
If I could use CSS or XSLT to style the proprietary markup for generic
browsers, that would be gravy; but I at least don't want to go backwards
in the support that I already have today for proprietary markup.
