looked at the generated HTML of one of our articles, you know that there are tons of elements you don't see in the wikicode, nor would we want to. That would be the right way to handle section redirects, imho, and then it wouldn't be so distracting having them at the top of a section. That's just my take; maybe I'll add something about it at

I think it is reasonable to retain anchors for old section names that existed for a long time and could be linked from off-wiki (especially in a page like this one that is the best reference source on its subject on the Web), so I will restore those anchors in 274:. I noticed that among other things, you added a couple of embedded anchors to section headings.
