Is it a mistake that the Wikipedia pages now no longer contain normal <a name=""> tags for anchors, instead only providing the name via id?
If I remember correctly they have been recently removed to save space given the assumption that almost all readers have a sufficiently recent browser.
Do you know who I might be able to contact about this change? It seems like they ought to be able to use <a class="mw-headline" name=""> rather than <span class="mw-headline" id="">. Although I guess someone probably already thought in depth about this change.
Thanks,
