Comment:

 For accessibility, I think WordPress shouldn't encourage the usage of
 empty links. Reading the post on the support forum, also the usage of
 links for interactive controls
 {{{
 <a href="#"></a>
 }}}
 shouldn't be encouraged. Controls that behave like buttons should be
 buttons.
 I don't see a use case for
 {{{
 <a id="abc"></a>
 }}}
 unless I'm missing something.
 Just tested and
 {{{
 <a name="foo"></a>
 }}}
 is always preserved, both within a line of text and in its own line. Would
 propose wontfix :)
