on the page found on http://ds.ccc.de/index the first test lines change their 
attributes when the mouse cursor is hovering over it, like it usually does when 
the text is a alink. Now this text is definetly NOT a link, but the text 
changes though. I think it is because there is actually an anchor tag, but 
without the href atribute, there is just a name atribute fo navigate on a HTML 
page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do nothing, download Mozilla, and proceed to http://ds.ccc.de/index
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
you'll see the mess!

Expected Results:  
nothing at all! this is normal text, it should be displayed as normal text!
Mozilla should only render anchor tags as Links, when then href attribute is 
given.
It is same with bug 190780 -- this page sending as text/html, and this file
parsed as HTML, so anchor <a name="top"/> not closing (read comment #6 of bug
190780 for more information)-- and you see hover result of this unclosed <a> tag.
