This was my impression too, because it appears within the part of the fragment identifier. Because this is presumably the only case, where such a conflict appears in SVG, the SVG-WG could add some hint for authors and implementors for this case either already to the SVG 1.1 second edition, as a proposed errata or at least to an new version ... > > In SMIL there may be a workaround using SMIL State, but I don't think > that's allowed in SVG.

Unfortunately I did not discover this before SMIL3 became a recommendation ... Olaf
