EDIT: I've made the following changes since first posting this code:

Streamlined usage somewhat by merging methods clear() and URL() into do(), which sets $this->sURL and clears values of other properties.

Changed "anchor" to "ID" after realizing that HTML 5 has replaced anchors with element IDs.

Provided for default value of link text. If text() is not called, then the URL is used as the link text.

Included generated output as comment at the end of the code.
