Change the definition of sect() to store the section title in a (yodl or
TeX) macro, and then use that when calling anchor() in subsect()?  Or
change subsect() to take two arguments, an anchor id and a title, and
update all uses of it (there are no compatibility concerns)?

Actually, something like this might already exist, since the PDF
manual's page headers _already_ include the chapter's number and name.
