Yeah. Then what about defining it for paragraphs only? The downside is 
that <span class="copyright"> is used rather often for copyright 
information. So again, the ballpark figure of false positives needs to 
be surveyed.

Here's another interesting example: 
<http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=+span\+*class%3D%22copyright%22+show:VuEfHZvRGl0:1nlPf_E3eAM:X7B8ModQOrU&sa=N&cd=33&ct=rc&cs_p=http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost/snapshot/boost-CVS-RC_1_34_0.tar.bz2&cs_f=boost-RC_1_34_0-07-02-22-1712/libs/wave/doc/class_reference_context.html#a0>

At a reasonable low rate, hopefully. We have to weigh up the pros and 
cons. (I'm not going to repeat them ...)
