There is nothing in your discussion that wasn't already discussed during the development of 3986, nor does the standard need to be changed to support how a given type of user agent might use identifiers. What you presume about RDF is no more universal than what you presume about HTML -- in both cases, *people* use fragment identifiers to identify what they want identified. Javascript uses fragments to identify whatever it bloody well feels like identifying, and no amount of categorization will ever "solve" that. The media type in that instance is text/html, and absolutely nothing prevents it from using fragments to identify concepts. In short, the existing text in 3986 is correct. ....Roy
