Indeed it is planned, and even specified.  Have a look at
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/linking.html#SVGFragmentIdentifiers.

Actually the syntax has a slightly different (and incompatible) meaning
in SVG 1.1:

  If the SVG fragment identifier addresses any element other than a
  'view' element, then the document defined by the closest ancestor
  'svg' element is displayed in the viewport using the view
  specification attributes on that 'svg' element.
