Thanks Mike. I told my client to use the comment tags for now until (and
if) he can get the perl code (as Jack suggested) to see how it can be
modified for his purpose.
I read an article that suggests comment tags are now viewed by some search
engines as keyword spamming if they include the same keywords, etc. as in
the meta section. But without the meta tags, maybe they won't be.
