            Bug ID: 21189
           Summary: Old "sintax" for links to specific sections of the
                    spec are broken
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

Many websites out there rely on being able to link to specific sections of the
html5 spec by using something like
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/page-name.html#section-name"

One example for video: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/video.html#video

These broken links can be found also on popular websites like html5rocks.com,
see e.g. the section resources here

http://www.html5rocks.com/en/features/multimedia


Now, I'm not sure if this can be easily fixed and if it's worth fixing it
anyway (or if people should update their pages) but since I've seen many broken
links in the past months in various places I though I would report this.
