How does that help anyone? Putting them in a custom XML vocabulary

Not true.
Well, that depends on your definition of custom vocabulary I suppose.
XHTML, MathML and SVG are all custom vocabularies with very widely
known semantics.
1. I wouldn't call the custom.
2. Internet Explorer and Google don't get them...
There's nothing preventing a future "CodeML" syntax from being
understood by Koders and Google Code Search.
It's not clear to me what the advantage of putting a few elements into a
"separate" vocabulary is. I actually think that those type of document
semantics, including math, should just be part of HTML.
