None yet, but I'll treat this as a request and add something like it for
the next release.

The problem is that sometimes you don't want the content to repeat the URL;
you want it to say something in English. Basically, loc is like A. We
could make the semantics be CONREF-like; I have no problem with
that. (That is, when the content is empty, repeat the href value as the
content in the output.) Comments?
