Well, noâ?¦ The author *needs* to know the elements, or the end result is 
that someone who happens to have a spoiler marks it up with #### SPOILER 
AHEAD #### text instead of <spoiler> because he doesnâ??t know about its 
existence. The same problem can already be seen with the current limited 
set of elements, like <dfn> & co.

So, giving HTML an abundance of generally unimportant elements will not 
result in those elements being used. More so, it will harm the rest of 
XHTML because the spec becomes too big for authors to oversee.
