I believe you need to use a namespace to prevent collisions between your
tags and similarly-named XHTML tags. Then you can use CSS to style your
custom XML:

Here's the example they give (works in Mozilla, too):
<html xmlns:my>
<style>
@media all {
my\:justify { text-align:justify; width:500 }
}
</style>
...
<my:justify>text here</my:justify>
