Good. Blog splitting is what I wanted it for also.

Yes, sure. I've assigned copyright to FSF before. I wrote the lazy
desktop.el
loading code that is in Emacs 22. 

It's worth mentioning that I've moved jobs since then, so I'll need to
get new forms signed. I mention this as a word of warning -- if you 
want GPL then you are free to have it (it's already on the code!). If
you want FSF copyright, then again this is fine, but it's likely to 
take some time. 

The desktop code took me about 5 hours to write and about 3 months
to get copyright waiver from my employer!

Still, in the meantime, as I know you're happy to have this code, I'll 
finish of the anchor support. 

Cheers
