Anyone can define their own XML tags, and define any standard functionality
that they believe those tags should cause. The easiest way to do this is to
put your own tags into a namespace of your own, like "mynamespace:mytag",
where mynamespace is related to your company or the standard you want to
create. Then write up the document that indicates what each tag means and
how applications should react to them.

If you actually want it to become a real standard, then that's a whole
different story. You'd have to either get the backing of some consortium,
such as the W3C, or push it yourself until it gets accepted. Either one is
probably pretty hard.
