I'd like @palemieux 's view on this as Editor - it might be enough to just change the <a> to a <div> without moving the line.

[himorin]

I'd have all content within <section>, per https://respec.org/docs/#sections

Wrap content in <section> elements. ReSpec handles numbering, IDs, and ToC entries automatically.

[nigelmegitt]

I'd have all content within <section>

This doesn't have any content in it though, it's just a place to put a fragment id. It probably doesn't matter much either way, in practice.

[himorin]

@nigelmegitt I'd agree just a place to put a fragment id, if we (not respec expert) could clearly and immediately describe why current line turned into rendering by respec... but if we cannot, I suppose it's kind of skate on thin ice...

@himorin I'm certain that's an accidental import, maybe even a weird bug in Respec, caused when it tried to dereference that id="text-profile-constraints" and found something in a cited specification rather than in the current document, where it historically existed.

[palemieux]

All anchors to similar legacy sections should be consistent, e.g., all empty <spans> instead of <a>

I can't see any other <a id=... links anywhere - can you?

There are the <div id=... anchor holders at lines 4162-4171 - are you suggesting changing those to span for consistency @palemieux ?

[himorin]

as @nigelmegitt pointed during conversation in email, existing lines uses div, and also there seems no line with <span id= per search.

Let's use <div> then! Thanks.

@palemieux so, ok to merge? (you are blocking with changes requested)

[palemieux]

We should use a div.

We should use a div instead of a span to match the rest of the document, e.g.,

I'm quite sorry. I've totally mis-understood what I've wrote in this PR...

[himorin]

@palemieux believe, should be fine now...

[palemieux]

@himorin I added a comment and moved the div above the section to match the other use in the specification. Feel free to merge if ok with you.

[himorin]

@palemieux hope nothing will happen with ignoring order in respec document/manual ;)
