[TxMt] Blogging Bundle: Excerpts for Wordpress

[Brad Choate]

My only concern here is that excerpts _can_ include newline  
characters. The blogging bundle doesn't support newlines in the  
header block currently. Perhaps it should, in the way that HTTP  
headers can have newlines, as long as the following lines are  
indented. The whitespace added for this should be stripped upon  
reposting. That would require some changes to the grammar as well  
though.
