OK, so...

- fragment identifier syntax depend on media formats

- RFC 2854 currently defines fragment identifiers for text/html, based on the
HTML 4.01 spec 

- RFC 3236 currently defines fragment identifiers for application/xhtml+xml,
based on RFC 3023 (XML media types)

- There's also NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020801 which probably should be updated
when HTML5 is ready

- it would be undesirable to have fragment identifiers becoming incompatible
between text/html and application/xhtml+xml, so if something is changed, it
probably would have to update *both* RFC 2854 and RFC 3236.
