Re: Usage Patterns For Hash In URLs

T.V.,

Since hash URI is URI's fragment identifiers, which depends on the MIME 
type of the document.  This is what we did with the DFDF 
(http://dfdf.inesc-id.pt/tr/fragid).  It allows us to describe a 
particular binary fragment with URI.  With certain server side support, 
we can convert the hash URI into query parameters so that it will save 
bandwidth.  However, this will lead to the question of how to interpret 
fragment identifiers if the same # URI is returned but different content 
type.  Hence, it turns back to the issue of what URI identifies.  It is 
not that simple question to answer but I do agree the foundation of # 
pattern.
