I do not have time to give a definitive answer, but here are some hints :
- the <function-def> tag expands to the definition of user defined
  functions, e.g. 
     <define-tag foo>
     <set-var bar="%attributes">
     </define-tag>
     <function-def foo>
  gives
     <defsubst foo>
     <set-var bar="%attributes">
     </defsubst>
- look at p2_mhc/libmhtml/packfuncs.c you will find how MetaHTML
  internally stores function and variables. But i believe that MetaHTML
  is slow because of that, so it could be changed in future releases.
