HTML 3.0 (htmlplus? The one Dave Raggett's working on)
provides for:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<div2 id=vending>
<h2>Internet Veding Machines</h2>
[...]
</div2>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a little cleaner: you don't need to put
an entire section inside the <A> element (which
isn't even legal right now, and would significantly
complicate the content model if it were.)
I like that scheme better; <A> is *only* used as a link
source, and any other element may be desginated as a link
destination by adding an 'ID' attribute. This is also closer
to the HyTime model of linking.
