Hi Ivan,

   I think your RDFa Distiller and Parser sends fragment identifiers along if they are entered into the 
box in 

 http://www.w3.org/2007/08/pyRdfa/

This has caused some confusion to me and others on the WebID mailing list, because we often deal
with URLs with hashes. So in this case I was trying to verify 

 http://2sea.org/sea.jsp#i 

which led to an empty graph. It would be easy to fix that I think.
