OK.  I see I have a note from you to revise the manual @ 4.2 Internal links:

  The preferred match for a text link is a dedicated target: the same
  string in double angular brackets. Targets may be located anywhere;
  sometimes it is convenient to put them into a comment line. For example

       # <<My Target>>

I don't know yet.  AFAICT there isn't a need for this construct in the
Org mode manual.

At any rate, I'll go ahead and get rid of the comments that contain this
text with apparent Org mode syntax and replace the links to them with
links back to the corresponding headlines.

All the best,
Tom
