It probably requires a more complete description of what you mean by
dispatching (longer is shorter in this case). I, for one, have not used
OpenSP, but I am familiar with SGML (only the basics). I'm guessing that
you will eventually end up with a closeElementEvent, and that an
attribute will be applied to whatever is between the two tags. But you
need notify the document class that what is coming next should be marked
with a particular element type until further notice? I've considered
writing my own C++ IDE (and syntax highlighting editor), and considered
SGML and other markup languages for internal representation, and this
sounds similar.
