Besides extracting meta-data into an index, we want to be able to link
from the index to the location in the specification, marked by an id attribute.
So you need at least some meta-data in the html file.  Plus you want to
mark up the definition for styling purposes anyway.  So just use the html
file as the canonical location of the meta-data.
