    Maybe.... If triple clicking within a tag then it selects all the
    contents within the tag (on that line). If triple-clicking on a tag
    it selects the tag and its contents also. Quadruple adjusts the
    previously mentioned behaviour by also selecting to the edge of the
    left/right whitespace. Clicking or not on whitespace shouldn't matter
    I think.

    <html>
       <head>
         <title>Triple click somewhere in here selects this text</title>
       </head>
       <!-- triple clicking somewhere in <body> or </body> selects
    <body>....</body> -->
       <body>
         <h1>quadruple clicking in here selects the entire line</h1>
         <webobject
    name="QuadClickingMeSelectsFromTheBeginningOfMyLineToTheEndOfTheLineOfMy
    ClosingTag">
           Click here
         </webobject>
       </body>
    </html>

    with regards,
