[TRUNCATE]

In fact, this would be worse.  The anchor takes up zero area.  This is
sort-of acceptable for a link destination, but it's definitely bad for a
link source, since it's now (practically) un-clickable!  The HTML standard
allows anchors to be sources and destinations simultaneously; take advantage
of that if needed.
