Not sure if a memorial is what to ask for

On Girl-Wonder's League of Substitute Superheroes blog, they talk about Spoiler getting a memorial in the Batcave, though it's really only a dream sequence of Batman's. But they're happy.
But here's the problem: asking for a memorial could actually be a signal that we're ready to accept Stephanie is dead. And I think that's a grave mistake.
I realize what led to this - that after 2004, DC editorial practically blotted out any mention of Spoiler, if at all. But I think that sends the wrong message. I think a better request is that they restore Stephanie's life. Otherwise, how will errors as repugnant as War Games and War Crimes were ever be fixed?
