I am pretty against this. Adding custom HTML tags is not something I think we should be doing in cases where existing tags work just fine.

<latest tag="foo" /&g;t

vs

<a href="http://.../latest/?feed=foo" />

Really, you're going to need how to make A tags in order to link to other pages anyway (assuming someone doesn't use the RTE), so I don't see much of a reason to have a shortcut to it that is not really a lot simpler.

If anything, I might be okay with having a shortened URL format like we do for support requests and similar. I.e.,

<a href="dw://latest/foo" />

Eh.
