True, I didn't consider that. I guess you could work around this placing all the links you want to be indexed in a hidden div or something similar though. This could be automated via javascript aswell.

The anchor text and surrounding paragraph of the link is also important for SEO-value, so I'm afraid that would not work. I think the idea of a shiv is a neat one, but unfortunately not very practical at the moment.

It would be a lot simpler just to use a-elements though :-)
