Another problem is if we want to get one-line descriptions (blurbs) for
defined procedures, along the lines shown in Emacs or Unix manual's
apropos output. Many old SRFIs have those in a different HTML element
than the argument list. I.e. like this:

   <p>Procedure <b>foo</b>: <var>a</var> <var>b</var></p>
   <p>Returns the astrological pull between a and b.</p>

So either:
1) they would have to be combined under a single element (e.g. <div>)
    (ought to be easy for new SRFIs, not sure how easy for most old ones)
2) the description paragraph would have to repeat the procedure name foo
    in an attribute or invisible element
