Another problem my earlier idea
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2020-09/msg00031.html> would
solve:

.SH Your title here
\!x X meta: set id foo
\!x X meta: set class bar

Or, given that \! is subject to diversions, something like:

.SH Your title here\
\X'meta: set id foo'\
\X'meta: set class bar'


Sorry I keep mentioning a solution that doesn't exist yet, I'm just amazed
how well it meshes with everyday use, yet manages to solve our current
difficulties…
