What I mean is that quite often you want to include some kind of web page in the titlepage, be it a LaTeX book/textbook/manual, Beamer or reveal.js presentation etc. The problem is, LaTeX does not have a syntax for this (it is too old for that, apparently...). Interestingly, Beamer doesn't have anything for that, either. In org-reveal, however, the "author" and "email" are just generic

's (in fact, I fixed it in my config by adding them a "titlepage" class, so that they can be different from

's on regular slides). So the problem is: it would be (imho) useful to have a "homepage" added to general metadata, but it is not clear how to translate this to e.g. LaTeX's (rather ancient) concept of metadata. (Interestingly, some other classes, e.g. memoir, koma-script and titlepage, also do not seem to cater for this need. I'm going to ask on TeX.SE if there's any class/package enabling putting a url on the titlepage...) So while (I assume) adding a #+HOMEPAGE field/option in Org would be easy, it is not obvious how to render it for different exporters.
