True. Without going back and re-reading, I think that the OP said that there were blank spans included, for iBooks, but my brain could be fried. It's Friday, Xmas is in a few days...nobody here has slept since Halloween..y'know. The usual.

And both will not be listed in Sogil's reporting as they do not have a class.

@Hitch: would a plugin put any value which adds empty spans to <p> and <divs> and <h1>?
Well, that's an interesting question. I guess a clip of regex, rather than a plugin, might be fabulous for that. I'm not sure that a plugin needs to be created. I gotta think about that.

It seems silly to want someone to do all that work when, as Wolfie rightly points out, with Apple's penchant for dropping hardware, software, OSes, etc., it's realistic to think that sometime in the near future, all the 1stGen iPads will be placed on a space-bound craft heading for the heart of the Sun. Or something like that.

Lemme cogitate on that one. Good idea, Rube.
