I think this is where Xhtml has it's (eventual) power. Since it's
extensible, you could use your own DTD, which has extra tags and markup
which contains the semantic meaning you need. Then via CSS and
javascript, you can alter/style the data anyway you need for the client.
Maybe it's a bit too much of a "principle" idea, but...even if you can
extend xhtml to include all sorts of your own vocabularies, this does
not guarantee that the browser will actually *understand* them. They may
present them, and maybe even make them available in the DOM as a
separate node, but they may not know what they actually are. Yes, a very
academic discussion, admittedly...
