John,
Assuming you use something like TinyMCE for your CMS, did you
customize it to allow your custom tag to validate?
I have a different application, where I want to embed a movie. I've
got the callmethod to do this for quicktime or windows based on
UserAgent, with size, autoplay, etc coming out of the database. So
I'd like to allow users to insert something like
<@MOVIE id="number" ENCODING="none">.
I enforce xhtml validation on my CMS, so the above gets HTML encoded
by TinyMCE

The strength of the custom tag is that I can develop something and

For example our CMS has a blogging module that we built that uses
custom tags. So to add the list of the latest posts to a page, a
CMS user simply adds
<@erube_blog_post_listing numposts="10">
to the page they want the listing on
I could certainly do something similar with the @callmethod tag,
but it's syntax would be far more confusing for a less technical
person to work with.
