                NewsMeta

A meta value representing a "news" items.

The content is the body of the news. In addition, they have date, author, and role children. In plain text, you would write:

 _news: Frobnicated the quux.
 _news.author: MD
 _news.date: 2009-03-06
 _news.role: updated

In XML, you would usually write:

 <meta name="_news" author="MD" date="2009-03-06">
   Frobnicated the quux.
 </meta>

_news items become serialised into Registry records despite their leading underscores. role then becomes the date's role.
