This is true. On the other hand, it's not clear to me what advantage
<http://example.com/58#concept> has over <http://example.com/58>.

This is one of the Great Unresolved Issues of RDF, so it's probably best
for SKOS to be neutral. On the other hand, there are quite a few extant
vocabularies that don't use fragment IDs, e.g. FOAF and Dublin Core.
