I see your point --- these sub-sections are mixed with others on the
same page, so how would you know the link location? I usually dig
through the sgml and find one, or add one if it is missing, but that is
hardly scalable. Having a link icon makes sense --- even if they can
just click on the subsection title and the URL changes to that section
URL would be helpful.
