How would that relate to the %define=...% syntax, which can be
used either to define appearance:

    %define=hotpink color=#ff69b4%

or meaning:

    %define=embarrased color=#ff69b4%

The benefit of using markup rather a 'semantic meaning attribute' 
is that the markup defines a controlled vocabulary, which makes it
easier to analyse. I need to think about this some more...
