In the referenced NY Times link above, they are physically inserting a pipe 
(as I'm sure you noted) between each end </a> and the start of each new <a> 
in the html.

If you want that effect in IE 7 using Fat Erik's code, you need to switch to 
Quirks mode. A simple test page [1] using an incomplete Doctype shows what I 
mean.  This will, I'm sure, create other problems to overcome in a 
production page / site.

IE 7.0.5xx shows the pipes on my Win XP Pro SP2 Box.

PS....can't tell if this works on mac IE 5.2.... can't test that OS / 
browser combo locally..... and IIRC, mac IE isn't affected by Doctype 
switching.... Jim
