[Mozile] XHTML withing non-XHTML elements

[James A. Overton]

Hi Reto,

This will work, in Firefox at least, with a couple of caveats. Just  
add a bit of code like this to the RNG file you're using (e.g.  
xhtml.rng):

<define name="myelem">
	<element name="myelem">
		<ref name="Common.attrib"/>
		<ref name="Flow.model"/>
	</element>
</define>

So you're just copying the RNG for "div" and changing the name. Two  
limitations due to the current implementation of mozile.edit.lookupRNG 
():

1. No namespace support. Lookups currently ignore the namespace.

2. Name comparison is done lowercase in X/HTML, so your element name  
should be lowercase. This is in part because HTML tag names are  
automatically uppercased by browsers, and also because IE doesn't  
distinguish XHTML from HTML.

Solving these problems properly will be a bit tricky, which is why  
they aren't solved already. But hopefully Mozile will do what you  
need for your current purposes.
