One of the main reasons for considering doc="" is making it simple, so I don't know if we really want to add too much power here (there's usually a direct correlation between power and complexity, and an inverse correlation between power and ease of use). Unless there's really a strong use case, I'd rather leave the less common cases to the existing data: mechanism, which has been shown to work (albeit with the corresponding loss of ease of use). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
