Suppose I assign the ID 'mars' to represent the planet mars in my RDFa
document. I can then refer to it using http://example.com/foo#mars.
What does it mean when my javascript calls
document.getElementById('mars')? Should I expect now to manipulate the
planet mars?
This is an analagous dilemma as for slash URIs except the domain is
html + javascript rather than http.
Just like your claimed slash URI problems, in practice it is a
non-issue because people don't really expect to manipulate planets
with javascript. Some dumb machine might assume that in the future but
they are going to make a lot of similar mistakes that will cause a
lot more problems.
