That's precisely the case for me. Here's why this scenario is important:
I'm hoping to have external-URL references to MediaWiki docs/pages, and
more specifically, a reference to a specific section in a page. The only
way I know how to do this is to use URL "anchors" (the #this-is-section-3
kind of thing).
With an external reference (say in an email, a blog, a web forum, Word doc,
another Wiki page, etc etc), a click to it will create another Firefox
tab/window (or another Opera tab/window, or another IE browser, etc). I
want my readers to be able to go to the specific section of the Wiki page,
for that section will probably be associated from a particular
context/content the reader was viewing (which linked to the Wiki section).
This scenario therefore becomes extremely important if I want to have
"cross-referenced" content, even if it's just from Wiki page to Wiki page.
I assume this makes complete sense (and that I run the risk of possibly
"talking down" to folks here), but if it doesn't, please let me know.

then it will jump to the anchor.
