"Fragment identifiers have no meaning with the
application/x-www-form-urlencoded type as this type is only used for uploaded
payloads that do not have URL identifiers."

That is misleading, because there's no reason why this media type couldn't show
up in a payload of a GET response. Suggest to simply state:

"This specification does not define fragment identifier semantics for this
media type".
