Summary: Subsection Hypertext Links are broken in HTML Docs

Details: For example load 
 
   ftp://python.beopen.com/pub/docco/devel/tut/node3.html
 
into your favorite HTML browser and click on the link labeled "1.1 Where
>From Here".  
It doesn't work as it used to work before in the 1.5.2 docs.  

Unfortunately I can't tell which change to the latex2html engine broke
this.

Comment:
This is stil broken, and not caused by latex2html. If you render the HTML
without the python specific initialisation it works fine.
The problem seems to be in Doc/perl/python.perl. As anchor_invisible_mark
is set to emtpy string the <a name="SECTIONxyz"</a> gets optimized away.
Setting it to &nbsp; (the change comes on a newline before a <BR>, you
don't see it) seems to take away the problem. 

A solution would be to not optimize empty <XX></XX> structs away if they
are <a name>. Since I now little PERL, I had no clue where to start for
that.
