How bizzarre. I've always assumed that 'meta' and 'link' are NOT  
valid in <body>; could some HTML language lawyer confirm?   If so,  
this seems a really annoying behavior for 'innerHTML' in the DOM. :-(

If I'm right, then this is even more obnoxious than I thought.  What  
did you think of my suggestion of adding a "source" div to the AHAH  
call?  Would that actually make your life simpler, by allowing you to  
'host' all your AHAH fragments on a single page?
