With sphinx svn version 66617, generated html docs have invalid html 
anchors: <a class="headerlink" href="#blah"> instead of <a 
class="headerlink" name="blah">.

Affected file: sphinx/htmlwriter.py, lines 71 and 373.

Sorry, forgot to mention that this happened to the generated Django html 
documentations (django svn r9084), if it makes any difference.

After fixing the two lines (as I mentioned), all named link works again.

Actually this is all right. The generated HTML looks like this:
<span id="blah"></span><h3>Blah<a class="headerlink" href="#blah"
title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>

So the id is in the span tag, not the a tag. The link generated for the
¶ is a convenience so that you can right-click and say "copy link
location" if you want to have a URL pointing to that heading.

I should have mentioned that this breaks in-document links, e.g. clicking 
on <a href="#blah">blah</a> will not bring you to <span 
id="blah"></span><a href="#blah">...</a>.

My point is that the attribute should be "name" instead of "href".

Sorry, Georg, I just realized what you meant. You're right. But would it 
be possible to add "name" *in addition to* "href" so that clicking on in-
document links (e.g. in Table of Contents) would still work? Thanks.

I don't see that inter-document links *wouldn't* work, except on antique
browsers that insist on <a name> tags only for defining anchors.
