Even that doesn't make sense anymore.  "Anchor" to me says "something you link 
_to_."  Which is not what <a/> really does anymore, since the W3C recommends 
everyone to use the id attribute for anchor points in a document.

Also, does <a/> really give any more meaning than <span/> these days?  Now 
that they both have the same attributes in XHTML 2.0, I'm surprised that <a/> 
is even still there. :-D
