Thank you.

I've amended the page to that effect and it seems to work in Tails, but
not in AUMP nor Operator (though I now seem to recall that
include-pattern will be implemented in a future version of Operator - is
that correct?)

However, there's an issue, in that any styles applied, intentionally, to
class="X" inside a uF will now also be applied to the element thus
classed, elsewhere on the page (most of the H2, on this page, is now
"class="summary").

That's not a problem in this case, but may effect others.



Also, is there a way to concatenate values. For instance on that page, I
could blend:

        <span id="summaryB" class="summary">Kidderminster Branch Indoor
        Meeting</span>

in the H2 with, say:

        <span id="summaryA>Janaury </span>

or the equivalent in the TH for each meeting, thuis:

        <object data="#summaryA+#sumamryB" class="include"
        style="display:none;"></object>

or:

        <span class="include" style="display:none;">  [1]
           <object data="#summaryA">
           </object><object             <!-- Can't have white space ?-->
           data="#summaryB"></object>
        </span>

to give summaries of:

        January Kidderminster Branch Indoor Meeting

        February Kidderminster Branch Indoor Meeting

and so on, thus ensuring their uniqueness.

Or perhaps something similar with the name of the speaker at each event:

        Gerry Griffiths: Kidderminster Branch Indoor Meeting

        Graham Harrison: Kidderminster Branch Indoor Meeting

(If not, I'll add that to the wiki as a proposal)



[1] I'm assuming it's OK to use display:none for receptive use of text
which appears elsewhere on the page, as in this case.
