            Bug ID: 24302
           Summary: location.reload() when document address has a fragment
                    should not cause just fragment navigation
           Product: HTML WG

location.reload() is specified to cause a regular navigation, and nothing in
the initial six steps of the navigation algorithm seems to specifically prevent
reload() from reaching the step labeled "Fragment identifiers".  So reload()
could end up causing just a fragment navigation.

This doesn't correspond to the behavior of real browsers, where reload() always
causes a re-fetch of the document, even if the document address has a fragment.
