I think that would not be expected, since an anonymous section is just a break in the text that has neither a title nor a section number. There are many possible scenarios. Let's imagine, for example, that an author is working on a section of an article. And at the end of various subsections he/she wants to make some text breaks that, for whatever reason, don't deserve either a title or a subsubsection number. Anonymous breaks using asterisks or other symbols is usually the applied remedy. The advantage of enclosing the content of the anonymous section in an inlinetask is that we have a 'true' section with content (over which you have control). That would not happen if the author explicitly added a break symbol and continue writing. Anonymous breaks are also widely used in essay or narrative texts. An essay text, published as a blog entry or as an article, can be perfectly structured into anonymous sections: contents 1 *** contents 2 *** etc See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(typography)#Section_form_and_numbering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(typography)#Flourished_section_breaks -- Juan Manuel Macías
