Chris, (01)
Nice work on the transclusions. (02)
I've been toying with transclusions for sometime myself. I've been working
on a method to easily scrape content from any given Web page - on the fly
of course. This work is related to ideas I have for quotation in any part.
Until everyone is publishing XML, it seems duct tape and baling wire will
have to do. (03)
This link,

will scrape a paragraph off your FoodTest page. Change your paragraph and
my scrape updates (upon refresh). (05)
It should be fairly simple to transclude/include this. In fact, when I was
looking at the FoodTest page this evening, it occurred to me that this
could be achieved by letting the Wiki parse a new tag (just as you proposed
for pointing URLs in PurpleWiki to PurpleSlurple; i.e.,
[P:http://www.burningchrome.com/ burningchrome through purple slurple],
which by the way I thing is a GREAT idea :) I suspect you are doing this or
something similar for your transclusions? Interestingly, when this occurred
to me, I had not seen Eugene's original post on this subject,
