Hi Samuel,

Ah, OK, sorry, I didn't notice that.  But, anyway, I'm not sure if I'd 
want to put such markers into all pages of my TiddlyWiki.  And while 
that would still be _possible_, I'm sure that there is also a use case 
for linking to fragments of local HTML files that you really don't want 
to change or can't change.  Imagine being a non-privileged user and 
linking via file:///path/to/software/manual.html#feature to some section 
of the manual of a software installed by an admin user, or to some 
downloaded e-book or archived web page.

BTW that reminds me of purple numbers 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Numbers), which I have seen in some 
wikis.  But they don't scale as well as your ID markers.

Cheers,

Christoph
