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.
