So, this template code
<span ex:content=".applet-codebase"></span>
would generate
<span>http://some.obscure.link/here</span>
while
<span ex:applet-codebase-content=".applet-codebase">xyz</span>
would generate
<span applet-codebase="http://some.obscure.link/here";>xyz</span>
and
<span ex:applet-codebase-subcontent="abc{{.applet-codebase}}">xyz</span>
would generate
<span applet-codebase="abchttp://some.obscure.link/here";>xyz</span>
If this is confusing, feel free to suggest alternative syntaxes. Nothing
is carved in stone.

Nope :)

Not quite sure what you mean...
