Putting <spot> in a spec won't fix the empty anchor problem: the implementations have to be revised. I'm not interested in using <spot> to band-aid the problems with <A>. I want the bugs fixed. I _am_ interested in using <spot> for other things (like change bars, and other non-hierarchical structures). So in my mind, it hasn't been abandoned. I can't say it's high on the agenda right now, though. Dan
