I've seen several reference guides, tools, etc. that would benefit
from a one-line description of each element/attribute in the HTML DTD.
I could stick some stylized comments in the DTD so that folks could
extract these little descriptions autmatically.

The trick is to put enough info in the description to be useful, and
yet don't put anything application specific or in any way
controversial in there.

I'll give it a whack...
