This little tidbit is what enabled us to link to the Private Aggregation spec with [=Private Aggregation=]. It's kind of a hack though -- it works by pretending there's a dfn with that name, then overriding the value of the URL hash as the empty string. Technically, it kind of got the job done, but I suppose it risks colliding with something that Private Aggregation actually wanted to export.

Definitely a hack, but I don't think there's a real risk of collision here.

Specifically, I was thinking that mixing and matching link-defaults and anchors might cause occurrences of [=Private Aggregation=] to incorrectly autolink to the permissions policy string, declared as <dfn>private-aggregation</dfn>, either now or in a future version of bikeshed.

Currently, all references to the Private Aggregation spec are declared in the `anchors` block. It's not obvious from the name, but bikeshed interprets this block as "custom definitions"[1]. Consequently, it has not been checking our references to Private Aggregation, nor has it always been generating the correct links[2]. Since the Private Aggregation spec is now in the database[3], I think we can promote these to real references. This commit removes the Private Aggregation lines from the `anchors` block and makes the necessary adjustments to the `link-defaults` block. With this change, invalid references to the Private Aggregation spec become compilation errors.

DO_NOT_MERGE Until the parent PR has been merged (#216).Currently, all references to the private-aggregation-api spec are declared in the "anchors" block. According to the bikeshed docs, this is how you link to dfns in specs that aren't part in the autolinking database1. As a result, bikeshed hasn't actually been checking our references, nor has it always been generating the correct links2.
Private Aggregation spec is already in the database3, so I think we can promote these to actual references.
This commit makes the necessary adjustments to the "link-defaults" block. With this change, invalid references to the Private Aggregation spec are now compilation errors.
