Elliotte, very cool, thanks, I didn't know that worked.
See that's what I mean, a lot of this stuff works
already, you just need to know about it...
 
I'll add xlinks to my blog now. :-)

	Actually Mozilla would let you do this using XLinks rather than
HTML
	links. In fact, you could make your html:a element an XLink too
so it
	works in both IE6 and Mozilla. Something like:
	
	<item xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
	   <title>...</title>
	   <description>...</description>
	   <link>http://...</link>
	   <html:a href="http://...";
xlink:href="http://...";>...</html:a>
	   <dc:date>2002-07-09T10:19:17-01:00</dc:date>
	</item>
	
	Of  course you could also use XSLT in both Mozilla and IE.
