"Earlier" and "later" are very relative terms, as the source order is not enough to give any indication of the actual visual placement of the target. It may be "earlier" in source, but styled to appear at the bottom-right of the page. Personally, I'd tend to think that this is more a matter for user agents to address (if at all), but I'm known to be hardline that way :) P -- Patrick H.
