This will happen only when wget will support javascript :-)

If a revision isn't a merged revision, you are right and the Anchor link
should be only one. But if the revision is a merged revision, then the
revision is different from revno ( == rev which merge the revision ).

For example in the Martin Pool bzr.dev repository the revision 
robertc at robertcollins.net-20051215083203-07b824bae89674c1
is merged in the revision mbp at sourcefrog.net-20051216003931-476d497e6dbd21b9
which has the revno = 1490

( see http://goffredo-baroncelli.homelinux.net/bazaar/bazaar-NG, the 3rd entry )

In this case the revno is between the '[' and ']' in order to highlight the fact
that is not the real revno associated to the revision, but it is the revno of the
revision that merge the revision which follows the ':'

If you in the page

http://goffredo-baroncelli.homelinux.net/bazaar/bazaar-NG?cmd=content;path=NEWS;pathrevid=mbp@sourcefrog.net-20051216003931-476d497e6dbd21b9;rev=mbp@sourcefrog.net-20051216003931-476d497e6dbd21b9

search the line which contains '--dry-run', you can note that at the left there is

[1490]:robertc

if you move the mouse over the 1490, you will see a tooltip which indicates that the
revno 1490 refers to the revision 'mbp at sourcefrog.net-20051216014735-906c2145b95924eb'; but
if you leave the mouse over 'robertc' you will see a tooltip which indicates that the
revid refers to the revision 'robertc at robertcollins.net-20051215032958-9ca8405f44373730'

It is a simple obfuscation of the email address :-)
