Answer 1

You shouldn't define your own HTML tags, period.

HTML is useful because it's a set of agreed meanings for tags.

(For example, browsers make links clickable because we've agreed (via the HTML spec) that the tag is a link to another page.)

You can create your own tags, but they won't have meaning to anyone except yourself.

For a given purpose, that might be fine, but you're not really using HTML any more.
