yes, I can confirm this with latest Opera and IE6SP1 too...

but IMO in any case <a name> tags should not include question marks at all since the 
question mark is the official separator between URL and QUERY_STRING...; and I believe 
the appended '#name' is still considered to be part of the URL; but regardless what is 
W3C or not, I think the pages should be viewable with any browser - and that means 
avoid '?' in name tags.

Guenter.
