Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Scroll To Text (#392)

This looks like an interesting proposal, and one that addresses an important use case that I've wished for a long time would be better.  One of our concerns is that it is making a pretty fundamental change to URL syntax, and both we and others need to review that change carefully.

The motivations for wanting to change URL syntax (having a part of the URL that isn't exposed to the page in any way, so that it doesn't break existing uses of the fragment, but can be shared by systems that link to the page) seem sound to me.  The question is whether it's worth the cost of changing URL syntax.

I think this is something that we need to think about a bit more (given the TAG's involvement with URLs) but that probably also needs to be socialized more widely.  One place to do so might be [`uri@w3.org`](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/); there are likely others.  It also wouldn't surprise me if some of the reaction there is quite critical.
