The Code example in the referenced section [1] would be more clear if the href values used in the permalinks actually pointed to the sections of the document in the example (#a instead of a.html). Also, linking simply the word "This" three times promotes poor quality link text which is a failure of WCAG SC 2.4.4 and 2.4.9 Link Context [2] Suggested text: <h1>Example of permalinks</h1> <div id="a"> <h2>First example</h2> <p><a href="#a" rel="bookmark">This permalink applies to only the content from the first H2 to the second H2</a>. The DIV isn't exactly that section, but it roughly corresponds to it.</p> </div> <h2>Second example</h2> <article id="b"> <p><a href="#b" rel="bookmark">This permalink applies to the outer ARTICLE element</a>(which could be, e.g., a blog post).</p> <article id="c"> <p><a href="#c" rel="bookmark">This permalink applies to the inner ARTICLE element</a>(which could be, e.g., a blog comment).</p> </article> </article> [1] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/links.html#link-type-bookmark [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#navigation-mechanisms-refs
