LYNX-DEV <SPAN> inside <A HREF ...>

lynx version: 2.7.1oldRP+wb+ct-0.2 

The first few links are not accessible by cursor keys.  I can access them as
numbered links, they show up in the list of links.  It is not because of 
an image with ALT="" or something like that.  Instead, it seems that  lynx
for some reason doesn't like the Cougar <SPAN> element inside the anchors.
I don't even know if <SPAN> is allowed to go in an anchor,  but since it is
W3C page about stylesheets,  I assume they know what they are doing.

Here is a segment of the source:

<TITLE>Web Style Sheets</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
<A HREF="../"><IMG BORDER="0" ALT="W3C" SRC="../Icons/WWW/w3c_home.gif"></A>

<H1>Web Style Sheets</H1>

<P CLASS=hide>(This page uses CSS style sheets)

<P ID=p1><A HREF="#new"><SPAN ID=s1>What's new?</SPAN></A>
<P ID=p2><A HREF="#what"><SPAN ID=s2>What are style sheets?</SPAN></A>
<P ID=p3><A HREF="#press"><SPAN ID=s3>Press clippings</SPAN></A>
<P ID=p4><A HREF="#software"><SPAN ID=s4>Styled software</SPAN></A>
<P ID=p5><A HREF="#css"><SPAN ID=s5>CSS</SPAN></A>
<P ID=p6><A HREF="#dsssl"><SPAN ID=s6>DSSSL</SPAN></A>

All the links are there, but the links 2 to 12 are not underlined and they
are not accessible by cursor keys.

Here is what trace says.  I must admit it is a "Boehmische Dorf" :-)

and so on.  First I thought that lynx doesn't like the SPAN inside anchor,
and ends the anchor before the SPAN,  but its not what seems to be happening.
