I discovered that in html output of lists that have elements of the form

no<a> anchor is generated for foo; this is different from lists of the form

The first case generates a<ul> list, and the second a<dl> list.
The problem is that in the first form, any link in the file to 'foo' is broken,
since there is no anchor for it.
Is this deliberate? Should it be changed?
I think it is deliberate because
=item * foo
Is no different from
=item *
foo
That is, it's just a bullet, it has no name associated with it.<dt>s, OTOH, do
have a name.
FWIW, Pod::Simple::XHTML doesn't output an ID for<dt>s, either.
When I do a perldoc -ohtml, what module is getting called that does
generate an ID for <dt>s ?
