Take this link to a certain comment 103.
If the users uses Firefox of Chrome, yes, the user will be looking at
comment 103.
But if the user uses w3m of lynx, they will be looking at comment 85!
(And who knows what will search engines be looking at?)
This could cause giant misunderstandings.
“Hey Bob, this (link) expresses my thoughts completely.”

It is accomplished by e.g.,
<p id="123">
at the intended spot on the target page.
We are talking about Web Accessibility 101 here. C’mon folks.
