No; that is, to say that is not consistent with current implementations, and I would find it unacceptable. For example, consider: <p>...<a href="#foo">tail</a> ... <p><a name="foo">head</a> I can tell you where the link from tail goes (i.e. to head) without knowing what URI scheme was used to access the document. So can lots of implemented web clients (and maybe even some servers). -- Dan http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
