No -- this is by design!
It ensures that the target anchor is above the actual title,
so that when you jump to the anchor you see the title at the top
of the page.

Before CSS rules, this used to be the only way to get the
desired result upon hyperlinking to the target.

I suppose an alternative would be to put the targets above
the <H1> but that was rather hard to program, with the
page-splitting algorithm.


How would you expect it to be?
And does it actually work properly with such HTML coding?

Hope this helps,

PS.
sorry, I didn't look closely enough before my previous reply.
