hmm.  ok, of course you are right.  My next question is, what writing
a declaration like a#id, what is happening?  Certinally don't wanna
throw out a "it works so it must be right", since it is obviously not
correct - but the question begs to be answered, why does it work?  is
that in some way implying display:block?  or is it turning the entire
div into an anchor?  Very odd.

"working" (FF / IE6 anyway) example at http://jtsage.com/apathy - I'll
leave it for a few hours before I change it. (also should be noted
that it validates as is).

thanks much for the responses.  This list has a wonderful quality of
making me question what I think I know...  somewhere along the way I
think I may be picking up some real useful knowledge
