It is however an attribute/part of the, IMO, second most important HTML element... the href (Title is King). Which could possibly be considered in the contextual link analysis (words the link is embedded in). That could be why FAQ pages sometimes do well. Not to say they do raise relevance or anything... I disagree there is no reason to suspect a search engine would be interested in the anchor.
