ONE: I support the view that the definition of <a> is not optimal. If I
remember correctly, it says that an <a> without @href, is "a place were there
could have been a link if it had been relevant".

TWO: But regardless of the definition: inside BlueGriffon, why don't you just
convert <a name="*"> into <a id="*"> ?
