The handling of URIs like "#foo" (and in particular what's used as the 
base URI for them) has been an interop problem in the past, as I 
recall...  Some browsers use the document URI, some browsers use the 
base URI, some do a mix depending on various other considerations... or 
something.  For some browsers I haven't been able to figure out what 
they're doing.

I also seem to recall one of the URI RFCs saying something about the way 
such URIs are resolved depending on what you plan to do with the URI or 
something to that effect.  But I may be misremembering.
