No, sorry, this is not what I meant. I was not talking about any 
specific element (be that a, img, var or whatsoever). Perhaps I am 
absolutely wrong, but what you need is something you can identify for 
parsing it on the way from DB to FE. That was your <lex>-element, right?

Now you cannot use lex in RTE because the most beloved IE will f.. up 
any none html element. If you now use var or any other element without 
some customized attribute and a special transformation rules for DB->RTE 
and vice versa you will be unable to use var for any other purpose but a 
lex replacement.

So what I wrote about DAM was just as an example of how one could avoid 
that problem.
What I see as a problem is that if you use an element out of the html 
vocabulary you will be unable to use this for any other purpose than 
your special one.

The whole transformation stuff is documented here:

I am curious. <lex> sounds as if it has to do something with language, 
is that true? Question asked by a language teacher (latin).

Cheers, Uschi
