Thanks guys. Patrick is right. I'd already validated the code and it came up
fine.
The reason I've run into this little problem is because, unlike HTML, XHTML
seems to require that the <a> tag surrounds some text. Perhaps an
would do it?
The named anchor is picking up the color of the a:link style.
I've currently got your standard style layout as below. I was wondering if
simply adding an a {} style with the right color would be appropriate.
a:link {}
a:visited {}
a:hover, a:active {}
How are other people preventing this, apart from hiding their anchor tags
(which I suppose is a fair enough solution.

No, you're indeed correct. Up to XHTML 1.0 Strict it's perfectly valid to
use the name attribute on anchors. It's only XHTML 1.1 that deprecated it.
