For clarification, I'm dealing with code that shows up in the document
while being edited (a "master copy"), but which gets processed and modified
upon export to the http server. This would similar to methods used in
documents produced by a database or other application, and is not meant as
the downloadable format of documents located on a server.
The idea of marked sections as an HTML content negotiation mechanism still
needs to be discussed, but obviously should be in its own thread.
