Thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood the context of the request. I
think it would by helpful to mention such context (i.e., work on the
OpenOffice exporter) in the original post.

FWIW, the following commenting syntax correctly inserts an invisible
target in the html:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Heading
# <<<atarget>>>
** Subheading
atarget 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

exports as...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<div id="outline-container-1" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-1"><a name="atarget" id="atarget"></a><span class="section-number-2">1</span> Heading </h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">


</div>

<div id="outline-container-1_1" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-1_1"><span class="section-number-3">1.1</span> Subheading </h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1_1">

<p><a href="#sec-1">atarget</a> 
</p>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Using the COMMENT keyword, by contrast, creates an orphaned link, as you
note.

I vote for #2. I expect org-export to clobber anything with a COMMENT
keyword. But if the radio target is clobbered, then words pointing to it
should not be "linkified." 

Note: I'm referring here only to automatic radio targets of the
<<<triple-bracket>>> variety. If the user explicitly inserts links such
as [[atarget]], they should remain even if the target does not exist.

Best,
Matt
