HTML doesn't allow you to make your own tags - although it handles them
well.
It sounds like XML/XSLT is what you're looking for here.
XML, on the other hand, is almost nothing *but* user-defined tags.
XSLT is the XML-equivalent of style-sheets, and lets you specify how the
elements will be displayed.
If you do that then, from the user's perspective, it'll appear just like any
HTML page - while still being W3C-compliant.
