I think I understand your point, but I don't follow your argument.
Accessibility from outside was never an important problem with subpages.
The key problem with subpages is that they created a "hardcoded" link
hierarchy, and that they create ambigous and overlaping logical
namespaces. Should Chess be it's own article, or should it be
Boardgames/Chess, or Strategy games/Chess? It's not at all obvious that
allowing HTML anchors would create these problems.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'd like to be able to see how
--exactly-- anchors are "nearly indistinguishable" from subpages. If
you see this more clearly than I, could you please explain it to me.
Yours
