Yes, they're created for headings. The markup looks like this:

  <anchor id="phoenix.preface"/>
  <bridgehead renderas="sect1" id="phoenix.preface-heading">
    <link linkend="phoenix.preface">Preface</link>
  </bridgehead>

At one point I tried:

  <bridgehead renderas="sect1" id="phoenix.preface">
    <link linkend="phoenix.preface">Preface</link>
  </bridgehead>

But using the linkend inside the bridgehead with the id it links to
caused something to go wrong (I forget what). If we didn't make
headers link to themselves, there wouldn't be a need to add an anchor.
It's not really a very useful feature in pdfs, so I could possibly add
a flag to disable it.
