Sure, so <a> would have to be indexed in
the externallinks table too.
That's perfectly doable.
The only way as I see it is making <a> an
extension tag, which has
disadvantages I stated; also, file-like syntax is my personal
preference (<a>s may be used by spammers, by the way...). Anyway, it’s
up to devs (seemingly Tim in particular) to decide.
By the way, we
can allow some attributes for <img> tags, which take
place in microformats too!
Like which?
