I seem to have jumped the gun a bit.  The links are, as you say,
selectable with no problem either way.  All the DTD toggling affects,
AFAIK, is the highlighting of the links.  One way the whole line is
highlighted as a link, the other way just the intended part of the line
is highlighted.

With the whole line highlighted and numbered links not being used, the
visual impression given is, I think, the same as it would be if James'
interpretation were the case - the whole table as a single link.  Of
course, the advanced mode status line would still be a give away.

So, I wasn't seeing what he was describing.
