Hmm... don't I risking breaking the standard then? I was thinking more
along the lines of adding a new kind of 'DcElement' (that might break the
standard as well of course...)

Um.. wouldn't that break the standard as well? Assuming that there is a
standard, I haven't had time to look at this (and probably won't for a
while).

Anyway, I'll have to think about making this compatible with all 
(future) pmwiki installations. That might complicate things if I depend 
too much additional cookbook recipies. Which reminds me... there ought to 
be a way to ask pmwiki what version it's running -- so that you know what 
basic features it support.
