Ok.  Aside from the fact I know I have to go rename all these anchor names,
(it's a redesign, but they're stuck with this way of thinking), is ok or is
there a better more standards based practice that could be used?

The question is, what is your doctype? If you are using a doctype that
supports named anchors, then you can't get anymore "standards-based"
than following the code it approves. If you are using a doctype where
named anchors are separated, then what benefit do you receive from
this doctype, which forces you to use different markup?

In short:

HTML 4.01 - this is ok. No problem.
XHTML 1.0 - named anchors are deprecated. Might as well stick with HTML 4.01.
