Seems reasonable, and it appears that HTML 4.0 does require the closing
</a> tag for valid HTML.

Also, I'm thinking of moving the markup out of $InlineReplacements and
into $LinkPatterns so that [[#WikiWord]] will work properly.  Probably
something along the lines of:

   $LinkPatterns[790]['\\[\\[#([A-Za-z][-.:\\w]*?)\\]\\]'] =
      '<a name="\$1"></a>';


This would occur just before WikiWord substitutions take place
(and therefore gain precedence).
