Document fragment anchor elements

I'm confused regarding the reason why the A element that specifies an anchor
to a document fragment requires an ending tag.  What is the purpose of the
end tag of an A element when it names an anchor to a document fragment?  I
understand that this is important when the A element links to another URI,
but I think it is fairly confusing when the A element is used only for
anchoring a document fragment.
