I think it's fine to add a client interface to make the markup  
machinery extensible. But the five features you're talking about above  
seem to all be things that should be added to WebKit, making the  
markup functions more capable for all WebKit users rather than adding  
Chrome-only code for these things.

Some features may be so unusual that they should be kept out of the  
core WebKit code, but none of the ones you list above seem that unusual.

Before adding an extensibility mechanism to the markup functions, I  
suggest you instead consider how to add these additional features. As  
the number of arguments to markup becomes larger, the right thing to  
do would be to create an object to hold all of the options and pass  
that in, rather than having a long list of arguments.
