Now that Andrew Kuchling has open pandora's box by
describing in explicit detail how to "roll your own"
dtml tags, it might be a good time to discuss how
to protect "tagspace". Otherwise, Digital Creations
may produce future dtml tags that will stomp user-defined
tag names, if this becomes a popular pastime. A simple
convention for tag names prefixed by <whatever> could
be reserved for user designation.
This kind of convention would also be a documentation
aid in reading .dtml files.
Comments from the Z guys?

I mention this as a disinterested 3rd party, because I'm
not sure if a proliferation of dtml tags is desired.
