These spellings are traditional in the news business, along with "graf" for "paragraph", "sked" for "schedule", "lede" for "lead [paragraph or sentence]", and some others. The original purpose of the misspellings was to clearly distinguish data from metadata: the annotation "hed" marks something as a headline, whereas the annotation "head" might be read as an instruction to insert the word "head". "Hed" is shorter than "<head/>", after all. :-) > <bytag> is an unusual term for "author" or "creator", even for > a profession that routinely uses "slug".
