Should this be marked as a future plan, perhap major version number like 2.0? --Ethan Yes, I'm looking at making this kind of change at 2.0, added to the list. +(Update: Didn't make it in 2.0 or 3.0...) However, I have doubts that it makes good sense to go relative by default. While it's not consitent with links, it seems to work better overall to have pagespecs be absolute by default, IMHO. --[[Joey]]
