It's funny that you don't seem to include yourself in that group yet, Hoss. I imagine it won't be long. If you haven't read that Brin/Page paper from 1998 yet, you should check it out. Enabling individual positions to be boosted is indeed one of the main targets of the current discussion. A slightly easier to understand application would be boosting individual tokens according to relative font size. For instance, we might assume that text between <h1> tags is more important than text between <p> tags and boost it. There's no good way to handle that right now.
