The following suggestion was appended to one of the IBM internal news groups :

Seems to me that this might be a good idea. It would need an HTML extention but I doubt
that this would be consistent with SGML. Perhaps it could go into the <header> area ?
Would anyone more knowledgeable care to comment ?
Kindest regards Sean.
