well suppose we implemented the name= for of an a tag. You take a paragraph


story.append(Paragraph("<para>yadadadadadadaadadad......
...................
...................<a name="here"/>..................
moreyadayada........ </para>",style=myStyle))


etc etc. The definition of the target is in the story list, but it's of no use 
until the paragraph is actually drawn onto a canvas when we can generate a 
bookmark to the drawn location.


We currently have a paragraph tag called onDraw that can almost be used to 
accomplish this although it's a bit complicated.

...............<onDraw name=myCallable label="myonDrawText"/>..................

may appear in the text of a Paragraph. Now when the onDraw tag is drawn the 
following happens

1) func = canvas.myCallable
2) func(canvas,"onDraw","myOndrawText")

however, I don't think this is sufficient to identify the exact location on the 
page where the drawing is going on, but it may be possible to establish the 
relative position since we're using _putFragline and the machinery of 
TextObjects to handle the onDraw tag etc. If so then a minor bit of hackery can 
get us the proper bookmark.
