Apparently, this was inherited from 
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2068#section-19.6.2.4>.

   Link: </bar>; rel=stylesheet; anchor=</foo>

seems to equivalent to

   Link: </foo>; rel=stylesheet

and

   Link: </bar>; rel=stylesheet; anchor=<#foo>

would be equivalent to

   Link: </bar#foo>; rel=stylesheet

So I'm not sure whether it makes sense to keep anchor (unless it's used 
in practice somewhere?)
