I understand.  But is it really no problem to be done in part of the cleanup of 
doclint?  
Looking at the classes in jdk/javadoc/internal/doclint,  the term 
`(anchor|Anchor)` looks like only used in Checker.java and resource files.  But 
a lot of other files, for instance in jdk/javadoc/internal/doclets, use this 
term to refer to the `id` or `name` attribute.  I would be fine if it is 
supposed to be done in each cleanup in the future.
