In practice, there is often some useful context
just before the tag. Normally, the top of the
paragraph is the right thing to do; the problem
comes when paragraphs are very long or
contain multiple anchors.
Would it be better to display something on the
lines of
(1) No more than two or three lines of previous context.
(2) Nothing from a previous sentence. (Or only one sentence?)
(3) Nothing before (including?) a previous anchor.
Ideally, this would be done by the viewer (which knows the
font and screen size), but if it is too ugly, then the parser
could report "character to start displaying" rather than
"character where the anchor starts".
Should exact anchors be a document-level decision, or can
they be mixed with old-style anchors? If they can be mixed,
then maybe the parser already has to make some decisions.
