Any attribute with a value starting with '#' is automatically removed from
the tag, and a separate outlet object is created from it (and the
connection established later at the right moment) before it's even handed
to the tag.  The tag class will never even know that the attribute was
there (and does not need to contain code to manage it!).

If it has not the '#', it's a standard attribute and it's processed by the
tag as usual.


I used '#' because it was remining me of 

<html>
 <body>
  <div id="index">
   Chapter 1
     ...
  </div>

  ...

  Go up the page to the <a href="#index">index</a>.
 </body>
</html>

but probably any other syntax would have been good as well.
