[wp-hackers] Strange errors with the link checker

[SoJ Web]

That's a valid use. See:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2.3
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#C_8

It is supposed to be case-sensitive... maybe there's mismatch in case  
between fragment identifier and ID that the browser ignores, but the  
validator catches? Or maybe the validator itself has a bug. Either  
way, it's valid.
