Could this be viewed as merely a predefined notation attribute and notation?
In other words, would it be true to say that what you are suggesting could
be achieved right now with notation attributes and notations, the only
problem is you'd need a DTD and a validating (or "DTD-aware") parser and you
are wanting to avoid this requirement?
