CustomReportItem Element in an RDL

I have 3 related questions, thanks ahead of time for any help...
1 - Does anyone know of any documentation and/or examples on how to use the
CustomReportItem Element in an RDL doc? MS has a PDF available about the
RDL specification, RDLDEC03.PDF, but it is not very clear on how to use it.
2 - Is there a way to write your own custom Report Item that could be added
to the toolbox?
3- Specifically, when a report is rendered as HTML, we want to add a
checkbox and a bit of JavaScript to allow users to select/deselect report
records. Is there another way besides 1 or 2?
Thanks again!#1, #2:
The currently available RDL spec describes the CustomReportItem element as
defined in RS 2000. The specification is getting changed/extended in RS
2005. We are planning on making a comprehensive sample for implementing a
design time control (report designer) and a runtime control (report server)
available when RS 2005 gets released.
#3:
This is only possible if you write your own custom rendering extension (on
top of RS 2000 or RS 2005). You cannot do your own Javascript just through a
CustomReportItem processing/runtime control.

About #2, is there a step by step RS 2000 example code ?
Thanks.
