It doesn't simple very simple to me.  If it was just text in  <p> on
the page, then making that dynamic is easy.  But the interaction with
Facebook is trickier.

For example, look at this OpenGraph metadata from the the download/index.html:

<meta property="og:description" content="Join the OpenOffice
revolution, the free office productivity suite with over 47 million
trusted downloads." />

This is in the <head>, so Javascript is not running yet.  And, it is
fetched by Facebook for creating posts when someone shares, and I
doubt they are interpreting Javascript.

So I like the idea of simplifying this, but I think it would need to
be done servers-side.
