Rob Watts: No. Theyâ€™re named anchors which point to a specific part of a page.
Nathan Nikolay Gaidy: is this a common mistake people make?
Rob Watts: Nathan Nikolay Gaidy not in my experience, no
Nathan Nikolay Gaidy: Rob Watts Probably some automated XML map creator
Rob Watts: Nathan Nikolay Gaidy Maybe. People build tools and donâ€™t always update them as things change over time.

Iâ€™ve not encountered one that pushed out #anchors myself, but can conceive how they might occur for sure.

Maybe they were part of some erroneous !#ajax implementation. ðŸ¤·ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸
Nathan Nikolay Gaidy: Rob Watts I find myself fixing more than building... :D
