<p><span content="Sherry Turkle" property="dc:author">Turkle's</span> <span content="Second Self" property="dc:title">Second Self</span> was an early book on the social aspects of computation.</p>

...     if rel == "dc:title":

...     else:
...         elt = markdown.util.etree.Element('span')
...     elt.set('content', target)
...     elt.text = label or target

...         elt.set('property', rel)
