I am talking about secondary resources within PWPs.  I would like them to
be first
class citizens of the web.   This allows use of fragment identifiers,
annotations, etc.

Yes.  This is orthogonal to locator-independent URLs.

But I do not want to discuss such a scheme now.  I would like to know
if secondary resources in PWPs should become first-class citizens of
the Web.  I think that this is crucial for the smooth transition between
PWPs and WPs.
