There already is a sufficient mechanism offered by meta elements, only
designed to provide additional information about the associated document (meta
data are 'data about data', CMIIW). In the mentioned case, you can e.g. use one
of the following elements
<meta name="description" content="(document description)" />
<meta name="DC.Description" content="(document description)" />
to describe and summarize your document.

There is at least the flaw that you cannot use several 'title' and 'summary'
IDs on a single page, and I furthermore question this suggestion in general
[...].
Best regards,
Jens.
