Actually, there are, both in IETF land (for text/html and
application/xhtml+xml), and in W3C land:

- 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

The question is whether it's in scope for us to update these specs (and yes, I
think it is).
