Correct. It fails to meet the following definition: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt 4.2. Same-document References A URI reference that does not contain a URI is a reference to the current document. In other words, an empty URI reference within a document is interpreted as a reference to the start of that document, and a reference containing only a fragment identifier is a reference to the identified fragment of that document. Traversal of such a reference should not result in an additional retrieval action.
