Hmm. Immediately preceding the <h2> element, there is also an empty
<span> element with a meaningful ID, "counter-objects", that can be
used to get to the same position in the document:

    http://docs.python.org/dev/library/collections.html#counter-objects

However, the problem is that URL isn't used for the “Permalink to this
headline” link.

Perhaps a bug report to the Docutils folks is in order.
