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, 
http://www.sasites.com/suse/apache/files/psScrape.php?url=http://www.burningchrome.com:8000/~cdent/wiki.cgi?FoodTest&line=13,    (04)

 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,
