Hello!

In example; assume that 'subsubsubsubsection' is already defined part of a
document

    \defineXMLenvironment
     [subsubsubsubsection]
     {\subsubsubsubsection}
     {\relax}

Now I would like to define some abbreviations like 'SSSS' (or 'ssss' or even
'S4') in the way that


    <SSSS> ... </SSSS>

will work as well as

    <subsubsubsubsection> ... </subsubsubsubsection>

Of course I can rewrie environment definitions for each needed abbreviation,
but it doesn't seems to be clever way...

Another simple example;

    defineXMLargument
     [center]
     {\midaligned}

How  defne 'mid' tag as a synonym of 'center' without rewriting

    defineXMLargument
     [mid]
     {\midaligned}


So the <bf>question</bf> is how to define <b>synonyms</b> for XML elements,
singular commands, entities...
