Empty link elements are not good (as Patrick pointed out)but what
about named anchors (destination anchors)? Is there any reason why
they should not be empty?
I'm typically using anchors like this one:
<a id="item_1" name="item_1"></a>, and can't see the need to "fill" them.
As Kornel pointed out; 'name=' is obsolete, but some older browsers are
still in need of "name', and the validator won't object. It is up to us,
I guess.
As a sidenote: IE6 may have problems "finding" anchors in a page -
depending on how/where it is placed. No other browsers that I know of
have such problems.
