in the Dumper class, there's a dump_children method that loops thru 
elements and recursively calls itself in a way that (I think) precludes 
adding elements via the plugin mechanism.

I've been trying to pull this out of the loop:

	elif element.tag == 'h':
		level = int(element.attrib['level'])
		if level < 1:   level = 1
		elif level > 5: level = 5
		tag = '='*(7 - level)
		output.append(tag+' '+element.text+' '+tag)

and replace it with

    def 
element_dumper_h(dumper,element,list,output,list_level=-1,list_type=None,list_iter='0'):
        level = int(element.attrib['level'])
        if level < 1:   level = 1
        elif level > 5: level = 5
        tag = '='*(7 - level)
        output.append(tag+' '+element.text+' '+tag)
    DumperClass.registerElementDumper( 'h', element_dumper_h )

I think it'll make it easier to write plugins that can extend the wiki 
syntax.

I'l have a look at the pyzim-next branch.
