If the result is going to displayed in a browser, an internal anchor
(that is, an <a> element with no href attribute and with a name or id
attribute) does __not__ display as an underlined hyperlink.

Example -

This is <a name='a1'>an anchor</a>.

So in fact you can have your anchor enclose content without looking like
a link.
