"Destination anchors in HTML documents may be specified either by the A element (naming it with the name attribute), or by any other element (naming with the id attribute)."
So no, you don't (or at least shouldn't) have to use an anchor element, provided you use the id attribute instead of name.
On a slightly different note, is anyone actively maintaining the site cited in the test case by AP? Some of the links on the page http://www.alanflavell.org.uk/unicode/ seem to be broken.

I will need to study the original pages (which were rather distorted when I received them) and see what ought to be happening, and why it isn't. I am afraid this is something which I probably won't have time to do until the Long Break - but it will occupy my time nicely then, when everybody else is drink-driving. -- Molly Mockford Nature loves variety.

I suspect a reorganization on the unicode.org site may partly be to blame...

Tell you what, although I've diarised it, how's about you remind me when the solstice comes? In case I end up eating walnuts and chocolates and reading trash novels for the duration? -- Molly Mockford Nature loves variety. Unfortunately, society hates it.
