    Done.
    
    Actually, I tried to do this the other day but I did it wrong
    and checklink wasn't happy with it. What I tried was:
    
        <dt id="foo"><a name="foo">...</a></dt>
    
    instead of what is suggested in the XHTML spec:
    
        <dt><a id="foo" name="foo">...</a></dt>
