Melee Weapon Spells and Gloves

[CrystalDragon]

So, one of the things that's always bugged me is that 'Melee Weapon' spells can't be used on gloves, which I dare say are indeed a melee weapon. (For reference I mean spells such as Magic Weapon, Greater Magic Weapon, Flame Weapon, and other such spells that target a non-specific melee weapon). Why, I ask, should a build that relies on punching things be penalized for playing to it's strengths?

Thus I would like to suggest altering such spells so that they effect gloves in addition to all other melee weapons.

GMW works on gloves (certainly if you cast it on the character).

I was apparently given bad info, apparently all the melee spells work on gloves (I had been previously told they did not), This suggestion may be disregarded.
