A typical content management system like WordPress, templating languages like PHP, and even lowly Planet aggregating software often are faced with the problem of collating multiple fragments and placing them on a single page. We are not talking about obscure tags here, we are talking about attributes that may be found on the <a> tag. - Sam Ruby
