The problem is, whether putting the mouse over a link, may make it = hard and difficult for the user to keep up the popup. To describe it as a w= ord, "usability", and needs to be easily accessible.

I'll define a popup as a <span> or <div> that is on a layer: so= I don't confuse anyone thinking that it starts in a new browser window. I = have included an Inkscape Mockup to visiblally show what I intend.
