I kind of like it for wandering links. I think the current macro is:

/micon "Repose"
/marking cross
/ac "Repose" <t>
/p Sleeping <t> - you wake it, you keep it.

(Not logged in at the moment.) That way, it's out of my hair for a minute and makes it real clear to the rest of the party that they've a new target. (Idle: does anyone know if "/recast Repose" works?)
