Hmm, are you telling me I forgot something ;)
Will look at it again.

IMO output should be

 <h3><a name="ToC4"></a><a href="http://www.fujitsu-siemens.de">Fujitsu</a>:
 Lifebook Biblo B-2130</h3>

IIRC this construct (i.e. an empty <a> tag) was avoided because older
Netscape did not recognize them as anchors.
Maybe it is time to leave such workarounds behind and deal with decent
browsers.  Comments?
