When a client is looking at what it received from 
http://www.example.com/mophor it doesn't know that's the only possible 
view upon http://www.example.com/mophor (indeed it might know the 
opposite if there is a Vary header)

When the client is interpretting #me in a way that is based on the 
content-type of what it received from http://www.example.com/mophor it 
is more tightly concerned with a particular document.

Since the mechanism for a fragment identifier is based on the document 
type, which seems if anything even more tied to documents than 
http://www.example.com/mophor
