That would be ass-backwards. The server has no idea that a fragment exists or why it might have been referenced. The UA already knows both. So, rather than extend HTTP to communicate something about an element that it knows nothing about, just extend OAUTH to instruct the UA to discard the fragment when it is no longer needed. That can be fixed within the UA implementation without any further bits on the wire. ....Roy
