the UFO3 spec says "this attribute is optional": http://www.unifiedfontobject.org/versions/ufo3/glif.html#anchor

Right. I was thinking about implied anchors. Should have pointed to this instead: https://github.com/unified-font-object/ufo-example-implementations/blob/master/normalization/ufonormalizer#L1324-L1333

I don't think it should be invalid, and therefore removed, if it has no name. A designer could be using an unnamed anchor/point as a guide or alignment point or something like that.

OK. I've added a couple new tests for implied anchors 5368b6cfe1d0c5b1b516a66d625018e9aabd0d9b
