Default Spirit Landing Site

(I note O'Keefe's comment was "We're back". I'm *sure* someone used that
as first-words-on-Mars in a novel sometime...)

So, Spirit (or, if you prefer, Daffy) is on the ground and looking
healthy. I note in the panoramic shot that there's one clear peak on the
left horizon, and a group of two or three smoother rises to the right
side. Plus, at a glance, maybe two or three other low rises between
them, but not immediately obvious.

Any word if a probable landing location has been figured out yet? I
assume it won't be so easy as it was for MPL, which IIRC had quite the
horizon, but...
