Nice one, Richard. Could have sworn there was an undocumented <private> tag,
but must have mis-remembered.

So far the only solution I've found for embedding metadata in text is to
use a name attribute within an anchor tab, e.g.:

<a name="some arbitrary data">There's the text</a>

When an anchor tag has no href attribute it's not rendered as a link,
which makes it okay for this sort of metadata.

However, if you later add an href attribute it will remove the name
attrbute; apparently name and href are mutually exclusive in the current
implementation.

To provide more flexibility for this sort of thing I've submitted a
request to support the span tag:
