But even with RDF you must *insist* on at least a potential or imaginary retrieval of some RDF/XML representation in order to obtain the interpretation of the fragid. Yes, RDF allows you to make statements with URIrefs with fragids, but ultimately, the interpretation of those URIrefs depends on "some kind of" representation being presumed or hoped to exist.
