You're saying this is better:
.... and now for <a href="somewhere.html">something completely
different</a>.
However, "somewhere" could be just as valid as "somewhere.html". Not
everybody uses file extensions on their webpages.

Let me guess - you lurk in certain search engine related newsgroups?

Okay, so adding that:
.... and now for <a href="something-different.html">something
completely different</a>.

I doubt that in that example "blah" indicates a destination that is in
fact a normal link. Usually links point to pages or images or files,
not to links.
