NAME
This is used for making the anchor the target of a link.
For example, In the example above:
D.J. Quad's Ultimate Tag Reference List - A
<a href="ref_list.html#A">D.J.Quad's Ultimate Tag Reference List - A</a>
This will go to the "A" listing on ref_list.html -
On ref_list.html, the "A" listing is:
<a name="A">A</a>
REL and REV
The REV attribute is the same as the REL command, but the link is in the
opposite direction. A link from A to B with
REL="X" expresses the same
relationship as a link from B to A with
REV="X". An anchor may have both REL and REV
commands.
