About anchors, I did not mention them in my first post and only
in my second when I was remembering the first, must have been
thinking of _one_ use for them in images.
Which brings me to the subject of use. Sparingly, surely they can
be wisely used as an extra but not essential aid. The practical
reality is that not everyone is new to a page and it is very
severe to require the page to be written on that assumption. Now
and then a tooltip on on image or on an image as link can be a
welcome addition to fill a gap in the harder task of making
everything transparent.
Why, I can think of an immediate use for one on just an image.
Deny that the tooltip on the first pic at
<http://tinyurl.com/ywvlg5>
is mildly useful for those who see it!

We must not get too cynical! There is a tendency in many ngs for
some of the regulars to go in a little hard on newcomers. I see
them being painted into corners, their dignity hurt and they
behaving badly as do many of us when so treated.
