While I would not list the Mediawiki language as

I still think it is regretful that one cannot achieve the precision
of
an HTML <a name="bla"> anchor, to say, make a link to a spot

within a page, whereas with the Mediawiki language, the best one can
do
is link to the top of a table for example,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Chinese_phonology#Initials
instead of also to a random point within say, giant tables.
And <span id="bla"> doesn't work why?
You can #-link to
a *span name*? Really?
I didn't know that.

IIRC, all modern browsers support hash linking to any element with an id
attribute.

Yes, in fact that's the standard. The standard has been
id="" since
XHTML. HTML5 continues it, name="" is gone. Only ancient HTML4 used <a
name=""> and it's only used in obsolete browsers now.
