Scott,

Rev just passed this with flying colors:

<p> <a href="http:// and the cat chased the dog">Cat & Dog </a> </p>
<p> <a href="http type=sound linkauto=intro.swa buffer=5 size=40 
next=yes">mtmlsound link</a></p>
<p><a href="http type=image linkauto=image2.gif 
location=side">mtmlimage link</a> </p>
<p><a href="http type=video linkauto=comeWithMe.mov next=yes 
location=side">mtmlvideo link</a></p>

This is definitely not SQML compliant but having your own markup 
language "means never having to say you're sorry."

This just saved me from having to write the algorithm from hell. I 
might just go out and take a day off for this. Yippee!
