OK, I see the link, but note that it is the bottom link of a list of ANCHORS
within the current page, so it may be easily overlooked (and was by me,
expecting a section to address the topic to appear later in the main page).

If you're going to keep a link to an external page among in-page anchors,
you should specify somehow that it links to another resource.  However, I
would prefer that you remove the link from the list of anchor links and
simply show it elsewhere on the page to avoid all confusion.
