I left some questions on the PITS page, but essentially:

* What if the heading contains other markups, such as links 
  or wikistyles? Do we have to be smart enough to strip those 
  somehow before producing the heading anchor?

* If a heading already has an anchor in it, should PmWiki 
  still generate yet another anchor for the heading?

* Do we convert all punctuation that appears in the heading, 
  or just parens?
