Hi Osamu,

Christoph Weber noticed:

> When you view the HTML version of the Debian Policy with a browser
> like Lynx or SeaMonkey/IceApe (which interpret <link> elements in
> the header), you'll notice some unfiltered tags like:
>
> | 4.4 Debian changelog: <code>debian/changelog</code>
> or
> | 7.2 Binary Dependencies - <samp>Depends</samp>
>
> Apparently, <code> and <samp> etc. should be filtered out in the title
> text of the link elements.
>
> Another tight related issue are the anchors that serve as destination
> for those link elements.  Currently, they are declared like this:
>
> | <h2><a name="s-binarydeps"></a>7.2 Binary Dependencies -
> | <samp>Depends</samp>, <samp>Recommends</samp>, <samp>Suggests</samp>,
> | <samp>Enhances</samp>, <samp>Pre-Depends</samp></h2>
>
> There is no link text.  A better solution would be:
>
> | <h2><a name="s-binarydeps">7.2 Binary Dependencies -
> | <samp>Depends</samp>, <samp>Recommends</samp>, <samp>Suggests</samp>,
> | <samp>Enhances</samp>, <samp>Pre-Depends</samp></a></h2>

See http://bugs.debian.org/613946 for more details.  Thoughts?

The following testcase[1] reproduces the problem.

Thanks,
Jonathan
