I was with you, Mark, until I realized you were kidding. I still vote for
smiting.

I hate it when I can't see the URL of the link I'm clicking. For me, it's a
usability thing. If you want me to know about the link, use 'title' or make
your link text more descriptive. Or both. That way, I get all the
information I could possibly want, and when I click the link, there are no
surprises, just rewards.
