I don't see why it can't be both (as needed) - relatively trivial to
make this is the case /but/ what I really want to know is.. :-)

1) Are we missing a trick by not bringing an element to the table (in
terms of better /potential/ etc)?
2) Will the @summary attribute stand the test of time with it limited
ability?
3) Is there now really just an opportunity to do /more/ with @summary?
4) and finally could this potential/change/pimping of @summary as is, be
detrimental to the current user groups who do find it useful?

What do y'all think?

Cheers
