RDF-ISSUE-37 (fragids-in-embedded-rdf): Handling of fragment identifiers in RDF embedded in other document formats

This is a leftover from the previous RDF working group:
http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdf-fragids-in-embedded-rdf
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003OctDec/0143.html

Specifications for languages that embed RDF in them should defer to the RDF specs for the interpretation of fragment identifiers defined in embedded RDF.

Consider say, an SVG document, that contains embedded RDF that defines a fragment identifier. The SVG specification should say that the fragment identifier should be treated as an RDF fragment identifier. It has been suggested that this may be a general issue for the TAG about the treatment of fragment identifiers when one language is embedded in another.

This is getting more interesting in light of the existence of RDFa.
