In general, yes, but not as 100%. We had this debate for months, with Victor holding fast to your view on the issue. We've done more spec research since then (I encourage you to read the parts of the spec I indicated in my posting) which support the view of Alt-Design (and probably still HEAD), that FOT & AT interact with each other and can't be separated, and for performance reasons, shouldn't be either.
