I don't know about the this: scheme, but there is certainly a need for a way to specify part of a document other than predefined #blargs.

The project is working on ways to simulate the Xanadu publishing model within HTML, and has suggested several ways to do transclusions in HTML. -- Edward Cherlin Help outlaw Spam Everything should be made Vice President http://www.cauce.org as simple as possible, NewbieNet, Inc. __but no simpler__. http://www.newbie.net/ Attributed to Albert Einstein
