Well for completeness I checked in to svn a non link alias <a> tag with two forms.

#		<a>anchor text</a>
#			attributes of anchors
#				fontSize=num
#				fontName=name
#				fg/textColor/color=color
#				backcolor/backColor/bgcolor=color
#				href=href
#		<a name="anchorpoint"/>


the anchorpoint form doesn't allow interior text. As discussed I was able to 
make use of the onDraw tag machinery to get the semantics working for the second 
case. In the first case we allow href to start with # (equivalent to a document 
scheme) or you can have href with pdf:filepath or http: etc etc.

There's a test case usage in test/test_platypus_paragraphs.py (see the output 
file test_platypus_paragraphs_ul.pdf). There are two jumps at the beginning and 
two anchors at the end. If you zoom up the document you should be able to see if 
the jump is right for your.
