According to this HTML 4.0 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/struct/links.html), ID is allowed on anchors as well for the same purpose. Also, the DTD tells me ID has replaced the HTML NAME in XHTML (http://66.102.9.104/custom?q=cache:v8_T7ASDsDQJ:www.w3.org/People/mimasa/test/schemas/xhtml-basic10-f2.xsd.txt+name+id+anchor+xhtml+1&hl=en&ie=UTF-8).
