If the W3C had proposed something for this a while ago, maybe in a single draft, I guess it would have been possible. However, since it seems (I may be wrong) that the W3C is currently not really looking for what authors need, solutions are find in one way or another and implemented in user agents. This particular thing is/will be implemented in at least 3 major search engines and in at least 10 weblog systems[1]. And that is only on day of release. I do not think the W3C can simply ignore such things and say that some alternative solution should be made. If the W3C wants some influence on where the web is heading it should act before such a thing as this happens. They can easily do this by looking for what authors want and what useful extensions would be for HTML and XHTML that authors need today instead of in 20 years.
