Re: URI ends with #

"Two RDF URI references are equal if and only if they compare as equal, 
character by character, as Unicode strings" [1]

It is actually a Simple String Comparison [2].

Another point is that, the meaning of a fragment is scheme dependent.

I don't know whether an empty fragid reference the entire document either.
