 An even more (r)evolutionary approach than #38 would be inspired by RDFa,
 a specification that allows for embedding arbitrary metadata into HTML.
 There could be one generic metadata element that would just point to the
 URI of the respective metadata field in the vocabulary where it is
 defined, e.g.
 {{{
 <meta property="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/author">Name</meta>
 }}}
 That would be slightly harder to write (but could be facilitated by XML
 entities, and it's meant for machine processing anyway) and validate (if
 we talk about simple-minded approaches like DTD validation), but it would
 be much more extensible, as authors could easily refer to new metadata
 vocabularies.
