   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.

   Drew.
