No ! O-length links are invisible. RANDOMWORDs or anything with length greater than 0 are visible !
The spammers have already started using one-char "words" as a way to get around checks for 0-length links and still keep the links relatively non-visible.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of them start using style sheets to hide certain links in html-mail next, so I wouldn't count on them not using something like <a href=... class="my_bgcolored_A">{RANDOMWORD}</a> in the future...
