Monte,

This works great. I had a meeting with the World Wide Consortium (W2) 
on MTML and it was decided that "&" should replace all empty-spaced 
breaks-points between attributes, in MTML anchor tags. This now makes 
it possible to break the SQML rules even further by adding the human 
readable component within an attribute's description or content.

I'm amazed at all the different ways one can use to manipulate text in 
Transcript. It's getting almost cumbersome just to select the optimal 
direction.

Thanks,

Mark
