Similar to what I am doing.  Where my reluctance to try something 
_different_ is I using this to set the tabindex for the form action 
buttons at the top and the bottom of a form; plus all the fields in the 
form.  Currently we have around 90 forms with varying numbers of fields. 
 And this from just the first 31 products of around 140 total ... to 
get done this year.  Twenty to thirty more every quarter starting in 
2007.  Once it is explained to the designers they'll be able to do as 
they wish/need to get the right effects.
The site isn't ready for prime time or I'd show it off and demo the 
issues but it has a really neat trick using sprite navigation that 
relies on the form fields tabindex.
