I absolutely appreciate how important it is to keep the Bridgy Publish model as dumb as possible while putting the onus on the publisher to get the formatting right and so forth.

I've run into the "u-reply-to" problem when replying to someone else's blog while syndicating to Twitter, but I see all the issues related to that have been closed for very good reasons.

That said, today, Bridgy supports "p-bridgy-<bridge>-content" as a way to affirmatively point Bridgy to a specific part of the page to use for a particular bridge.

However, this requires creating fully formatted content block for each syndication target.

I wonder if something like "p-bridgy-<bridge>-omit" or "p-bridgy-<bridge>-ignore" could be considered.

For the "u-reply-to" problem, the publisher could include "p-bridgy-twitter-omit" for all "u-reply-to" links that aren't links to tweets. The publisher, in this case, would be responsible for getting the formatting right, Bridgy just follows the instruction to ignore the tags entirely.

I could see this being useful in a wide range of circumstances where the publisher wants to selectively omit parts of a page during syndication without replicating the rest of the content.

Is something like that an option?

I'm more than happy to throw together a PR if that's something that might be considered for inclusion.

Thanks!
