Dear Mailing List,

I'd like to ask for some hints/ideas/best practise on content-structuring.

On almost any page in the publication(s) we need/use some 'page-related' 
content like teasers, download-links, links to external resources (not in the 
publication) and other information what is not really a part of the 
page-(main)content as for example a link or image inside the article. For this 
related content we need the option to use xhtml elements for 
formatting/structuring, so text-only is no option.
At the moment (in Lenya 1.2.4) we use DIVs with special IDs within the pagebody 
of our XHTML-document type. This requires to 'extract' these data from the 
main-content on pagerendering. For editing we've to use a customised 
TinyMCE-based edit view with multiple instances of Tiny on the page.
Although this works fine I'm looking for a 'cleaner' way to structure/separate 
the related content from the main content.

My idea is to use a custom set of Metadata. Is this possible or even worst 
practise?
As far as I understood custom Metadata in Lenya(2) it would fit perfectly for 
this if it's possible/allowed to use xhtml-formatted content in the  <value /> 
elements.
The benefits I see instead of the use of new resource types is, that it's:
- useable for any (existing) document
- no need to create many new resourcetypes to add these fields
- independent (from the document content) editable/versionized

Many thanks ahead for your help!

Best Regards,
 Gerd
