I'd like to add that, with a little luck, a consquence of the fragement
pseduo-class would be that authours may be more inclined to mark up
logical sections of thier text. Example:
...
<DIV ID="Sec-2.1">
<H2 ID="h-2.1">2.1 What is the World Wide Web?</h2>
<p>The World Wide Web (Web) is a network of information resources. The Web
relies on three mechanisms to make these resources readily available to
the widest possible audience:
...
<DIV ID="Sec-2.1.1">
<H3 ID="h-2.1.1">2.1.1 Introduction to URIs</H3>
<p>Every resource available on the Web -- HTML document, image, video
clip, program, etc. -- has an address that may be encoded by a
Universal Resource Identifier, or "URI".
...
</DIV>
...
</DIV>
(Text stolen from the HTML 4.0 specs)
Now authours have a good reason to mark and link to ``Sec-2.1.1'' as
opposed to just linking to the header ``h-2.1.1''. This may even
eventually lead to ISO-HTML's Full Structuring. This is all a Good Thing.
