[development] req: role-specific content in pages

[Richard Morse]

Hi!  I solved this exact problem a while back:

     http://drupal.org/project/restricted_text

Instead of SGML like entities, it uses bracket-enclosed text.

Also note that (as will probably happen with any module that does  
this) this will adversely affect caching.

HTH,
Ricky
