I have come across a couple of instances of this where headings have been enclosed in an anchor, i.e.
<a name="anchor" id="anchor"><h1>Heading text</h1></a>
This causes the text colour of the heading to change when moused-over (although not a link). From an interface perspective this can be quite confusing. (A feedback cue that suggests interaction is possible when it is not).
This is why a:link:hover and a:visited:hover are preferable over simple a:link
:)
Maybe I've missed some standards or accessibility point, but I'm accustomed to coding as follows:
<h2><a name="" id=""></a>Some heading</h2>
Jumping works like a charm, and no hyperlink behaviour other than that ever shows up. Afaik, there are no problems with this method whatsoever, plus you don't rely on CSS to prevent a particular GUI behaviour.
