This would be a great way of making things pretty in userpages and other important/high-traffic posts. Just let the parameter for the tag equal what would be written in the style attribute of the HTML tag.

[span=background:url(http://puu.sh/1aIt0) bottom repeat-x;font-weight:bold;color:#800000;]WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?[/span]

becomes

<span style="background:url(http://puu.sh/1aIt0) bottom repeat-x;font-weight:bold;color:#800000;">WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?</span>

Divs could be used for cool things like boxes and columns.

Force position:relative to prevent someone from drawing a giant black box over the forum page though. :P

Could you provide us with some examples? I don't think this would improve our user pages very much..

I'm pretty much stupid with HTML, but I believe that would mean there's always fire at the bottom of the userpage's viewport.

No it means to use background images and stuff, even animated gifs as background, like the fire shown in the example.

Server-side? Not at all. Client-side? Only if there are a ton of animated gifs or large images going at once. And that's something you could do anyway without these tags existing. :P

Besides silly things like animated backgrounds for text, it could also be used for columns and header stylings. Like, if you wanted to make a post or your userpage have a two-column layout, you could do it with this.

It's not necessary by any stretch, but it might on occasion be nice to have.

BBCode was not designed to be an alternative to HTML, it was meant to be an easy-to-use language for text-oriented community boards, i.e. forums. BBCode tags with CSS scripts are just not relevant.

You probably want something à la eBay, where you can design your own item description in HTML and where some critical tags are disabled (like <iframe>).
