(I will try to read through and understand all the mail in this discussion
but it may take me some time to understand all the points that have been
raised.)

An @anchor occuring anywhere is an issue. It could make more sense to
give the label with a brace command, that could occur anywhere:
@anchorlabel{Bögen}@anchor{Bows}
The argument to @anchorlabel would give the label for anchors to be used
up until the next @node (or possibly until the next section or
heading command).
Or one command could be used for both:
@anchorlabel{Bows, Bögen}
It could help with cross-references into commands like @table (for the
likes of glossaries) that also produce headings of a sort, just not with
sectioning or heading tables.
The only real advantage I can think of for having it as a separate command
is that it would cover multiple anchors:
@anchorlabel{Bögen}@anchor{Bows}@anchor{Ties}
Then both @xref{Bows} and @xref{Ties} would produce "See Bögen".
