Comment:

 +1 to Otto's use of types 'html' & 'meta'. If we don't add meta, then I'd
 like some way to get the description's string back out (a 'text' or 'raw'
 type?). It seems inevitable that someone will create a frontend convention
 for this string or find some SEO value for it against an algorithm.

 If we use Brian's 'html' & 'xhtml' types, this might match the current
 ''get_the_meta_description()'' (line 2284-9) code style better:
 {{{
 case 'html':
 case 'xhtml':
     $desc = '<meta name="description" content="' . esc_attr(
 $rawdescription ) . '">';
     break;
 }}}
