OK, and it works fine in my Mac browsers... So now I have to wonder about
this Lynx and Links? I know nothing about them, I expect I should find out
if many folk use such? Any particular types of communities more prone to use
these? (Like you, I like the abbr, to make the css look neater. It is also
easier to change.
