It seems like something which other users might have use for also.
Maybe you can propose a standard way to mark it up? That is, a
proposal for a change to the Website DTD/schema. The Website
schema is meant specifically for marking up content for display on
the web, so it seems to me it'd make sense for it to have a specific
standard element or attribute for handling what you're describing.
