What if styling is used (or must be used) to reposition it? What does next to mean in an international context? What if there is more than one equivalent? I imagine a much better UI (e.g., that of amaya) where information is available through consistently designed context-sensitive menus (that are accessible). I actually prefer not altering content if we can avoid it. - Ian P.S.
