Thanks, Mark. I'm working on a perl script to manage this (since I don't
know JavaScript, but vaguely remember perl). It would seem that it will be
necessary to rely on the willingness of the wikipedia editors to maintain
their page in standard structure. And every wikipedia page will be
different, though there should be some overlaps across pages.
This is an interesting project, but one that will take a bit of a backseat
for a while, unless I continue to be interested in the substance...
