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.
If you are using XHTML, then you need not have a closing tag; merely,
<a id="targetname" />
