Phew! getting through some back bug-reports at last.
Firstly, Kennis K and Mike Krell -- the bug cases you reported seem to be
working OK in the current dev version as far as I can tell.
Now, on to this one...

I've spotted this -- what's up is that the A NAME anchors are inside
WIDTH=20% table items, which sitescooper strips as "sidebar tables".
add
UseTableSmarts: 0
to the site file, and hey presto, it works OK!
BTW, in fact it may be worth adding "TableRender: flatten" to flatten out
the tables (although iSilo and Plucker more-or-less ignore table tags
anyway).
(I'm considering making TableRender: flatten the default anyway at this
stage.)

Good point.
Here's the trick -- use "href_external" instead of "href" and it'll work.
A little undocumented sitescooper magic there ;)
