Underdefined, overloaded, who knows. The remnant of a dying world, perhaps. Gad. Get me some coffee. > is defined by http://example.org/#meta BTW, I musta been out of the country for this one. Where in the world did the idea of appending "#" to the *end* of a URL come from? Seems very weird or just wrong. I don't know of a file system that likes files named "#", and I don't want to *always* rely on a web server to patch me through to index.html or whatever. Anyone?
