True, but are there any widely 'deployed' XML Namespaces which are in fact
full URI references i.e. have a non-null fragment-id?

Having looked at this issue, there certainly are corner cases which will
'break' any algorithm, however, having an algorithm that covers the 80/20
point, is IMHO, far better than nothing. That is to say, partial progress is
still progress.
