You shouldn't be doing that anyway.  The whole point of using id is to
make a certain piece of text an anchor:
<h2 id="comments">Comments</h2>

This is valid, but goes against principle:
<a id="comments" />
<h2>Comments</h2>

But I do feel Lynx is partially at fault here.  Most browsers don't
create a link unless the href attribute is present.
