While I agree with the solution you provided, what do you mean by
performance hit? Sure, more code equals more stuff to process equals more
_time_ to process. Sure, a solution written in JavaScript will be faster,
but you seem to be implying the custom tags in _general_ are bad for
performance. This is not the case. Again - the same rule applies - more code
equals more processing time. But for 99% of the work you do, this will not
matter, and the benefits of custom tags (code re-use and readability) far
outweigh the cost to performance.

p.s. If I read you wrong, just ignore me. ;)
