This is one of the primary reasons I'd like to see an optionaltag for an item -- my drill-down user interface works best when there's a single point of entry into an item. In instances where the content is a paragraph with two embedded links, I have to make an arbitrary decision as to what to show people at the top level of this item.
Do I show them the first n words of the item? Do I show them just the links?
If there's a
tag for me to read, I can use that. If there isn't, I still have to make the arbitrary decision, but at least when it's there the choice has been made by the content creator, not my dumb program....
