I certainly would (actually, I did, since I let my recruiter
friend submit me for that opening). You never know how
unsuccessful a company will be at finding their "perfect"
candidate. My current contract is with a company that
advertised for a writer with experience documenting a
certain application. I didn't have it, but I did have 10
years experience *using* that particular application, and
I turned out to be the closest they could find. I don't
go around submitting myself for openings with a lot of
"requirements" I don't meet, but if I'm scoring on all
points but one or two, I certainly do.

What do you have to lose? Nobody will say "yes" if you don't ask.
