Comment:
The definitions of the text/html and application/xhtml+xml media types have
incorrect information about fragment identifiers.

"Fragment identifiers used with text/html resources refer to the indicated
part of the document."

but this is not true, fragment identifiers also are used as input parameters
to scripting. Similarly for application/xhtml+xml ....

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: Agreed for text/html and text/html-sandboxed; for application/xhtml+xml, it's up to the XML community to fix this if they agree it's a problem: we're just using XML semantics.
Comment 3 contributor 2011-08-22 22:37:30 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r6519.
Check-in comment: Allow frag IDs to be used by scripts rather than having them point to IDs only.
