Or something richer. In a perfect world, I'd like to see the use of SUBDOC (or
some functional equivalent) to specify a DTD for domain-specific metadata, none
of which would be displayed by the UA. SGML compliant UA's would perform full
SGML parsing while HTML parser/renders could just ignore those data.
