		Limited's "destination brands" in personal care won't bear the Bath and Body Works label, and they won't only be available in Limited-affiliated stores.
		Limited also has a history of spinning off, selling, and reorganizing its brands to match its strategy, so it's not impossible that the company could do likewise to realize some of the value in its maligned apparel business.
