We simply stop calling them "anchors" then.  Instead we call them
"text block markers" or "section markers" and simply note that the
first section marker of a given name also provides a target that
urls can use to jump immediately to that marker.  This also
helps the nomenclature for (:include Page#section:) and
(:pagelist fmt=#section:), since we're now referring to 
"sections" and not "anchors".

You may be right; but PmWikiPhilosophy #3 tugs at me here,
so I'll just keep the concepts in mind as I implement
?action=insert, comments, and friends.

Thanks!
