but
<div>

<p>This specification...
works everywhere so far as I can tell...

While I appreciate the intent, translating this
<a name="intro"/><div>
<h2>1. Introduction </h2>
<p>This specification...
into this:
<div>
<h2 id="intro">1. Introduction </h2>
<p>This specification...
fails because there are many browsers that don't recognize that #intro
should go to the element with ID intro; they insist on locating an A
with a NAME of intro.
And translating into this:
<div>
<h2><a name="intro">1. Introduction </a></h2>
<p>This specification...
fails because some browsers make the text surrounded by an <A name="">
tag blue and underlined. (They shouldn't, but they do.)
Be seeing you,
