Well, they *can* be read, that's not the problem; it is just that it is my
preference to see where a link is taking me before clicking on it - the
javascript to which I refer sets the window.status property to a
description of the link rather than the location of the link.

Non-JS browsers should cope fine with it - it's the non-JS users I'm
worried about ;-)
