Why didn't you just try?

Running your example, I get:

/tmp/ss.rst:4: (ERROR/3) Unknown target name: "fine-header".


However, the HTML anchor uses the replacements as documented somewhere which
include spaces-to-hypens. Therefore, you get

<div class="document" id="fine-header">
<h1 class="title">Fine Header</h1>

and if you want to refer to this place without using rst
(e.g. inter-document links), you must use this, like in 
the link to the section "syntax highlight":
