I would think that something like <a href="scheme://path.to.server/path/to/file.typ" search="I%20told%20you%20so"> might be appropriate (we already have lang, target, name, title etc.) I would think there may be some opposition from commercial interests, who want you to go to the top of their page first to read the advertisents... Perhaps the tag could merely preload the browser search buffer, so that it requires only a few keystrokes to jump, instead of moving immediately to the marked place. All it really needs is for you to patch Lynx to include this behaviour, then the Lynx community can start using the tag in their own work. Mainstream Web use is going to ignore it, probably, as it has mostly ignored title (in anchors), rel, rev, link etc.. Andrew Daviel
