It would, and I'd be very happy to see it. I'd really like to see some
work done on how to convert spacer.gif-built layouts to decent CSS
routinely, as Adobe's otherwise rather wonderful Imageready is very fond of
its spacers, and that's the tool I've found myself using most over the last
year. For the graphics heavy work that SIA's marketing works with, it's
pretty much essential.
