The original posting was concerned with how a <A > element should refer
to the default file in a directory e.g. are

<A HREF = "./">The default file in the current directory</A>
<A HREF = "index.html">The default file in the current directory</A>

equivalent.  

How should one refer to an internal anchor in such a file.  Are

<A HREF="./#section1>An internal anchor in the default file</A>
<A HREF="index.html#section1>An internal anchor in the default file</A>

equivalent, or with browsers or other user agents treat #section1 as a 
filename?


Thanks
