Since you mentioned it, I'll also note that my personal CSS says that underlining <a ...> spans is "important", because I particularly hate the practice of removing the one (formerly) universal visual hint that "this is a link". And a side effect of this is that name= "anchors" are underlined (but not colored) so I like it when "link to here" parts are appropriately selected, such as around the heading.

Occasionally I see sites that have the "anchor" around an entire paragraph or more, which is mildly annoying but easy for me to put up with because I know the cause and the benefit still *far* outweighs this "problem". And I've gotten used to the "extra" underlines so I doubt I'll bother to learn how to apply my CSS to just non-"name=" <a ...> spans.
