Hm, I don't like this one.  It's hard for the parser to make that
available (though I'm sure I could find a way), as you say there's the
question of what to if there's markup occurring in the text (though I
guess we could limit it to "only of there are no TAL/METAL tags in
it"), and last but not least, I don't think your example makes much
sense.  It would mean that the outcome of the choice could only be
changed by editing the template.  That seems backward.
