Screenshot of the behaviour

see steps
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a html file
Put this in:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a name="nolink" /> This is not a link (though in the browser it will be)
<a name="nolink2"></a> This is not a link
<a name="link"> This is a link </a>
</body>
</html>
2. open the page and notice that the first item has become a link.
Actual Results:
see that (using css or firebug) the first item is linked, while it shouldn't.
thus:
first item IS a link
Expected Results:
first item should not be a link
second item should not be a link
third item should be a link
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 has same behaviour, though I can't find any document at W3c that this should be parsed in this way.

It depends on the MIME type that the server sends with the document. The document must not be sent as text/html. If the MIME type is text/html the document is parsed by the html parser which does not handle that syntax.
This attachment works correct if it has the correct MIME type.
