yeah, it's mentioned in the 'LaTeX for the Web' book, as part of an entire
section on different approaches to how to 'do the right thing'. Once I get
the rest of the output tweaked to my satisfaction I'll add that in. My
concerns are primarily those of compatibility, as I don't want to break
users who don't have that package. LaTeX is probably smart enough to work
around that, however, so I'm not unduly concerned.

Probably something to do with the Cork encoding or whatever the proper name
is. I'll look into it over the weekend and probably roll several tweaks into
one build and call it 0.9...

Same here and thanks for the reminder about PDF links. I also need to see if
=for latex .. =end tags DTRT.
