Hi Chris

I can't think of anything useful - unless we do something like

#+begin_xxx -largs "{aa}[bb]{cc}" -hargs "aa=\"xxx\" bb=\"uuu\""

and then use the largs for LaTeX and the hargs as additional attributes
in the HTML div.

But right now I don't see many applications for this in HTML, so
I am not sure it is worth the trouble.  Maybe just ignore these  
additional
arguments, or put them as a string into some special attribute like

<div class="xxx" latex_block_args="{aa}[bb]{cc}">

so that some javascript hacker can do something with these
arguments.

I am not sure what the right cause of action is, and I would
be happy already with a patch that attaches the rest of the line
in LaTeX and throws it away in HTML.

I am starting to think we should have this package in the
core - can I get you to sign the papers with the FSF for
your contributions to Org-mode?  Instructions are here:
