Fragments in HTTP redirects

Hi,
During the last teleconference, we discussed fragment handling in redirect 
now that fragments are allowed in redirects (in httpbis).
Here is the history of allowing them:

It is httpbis issue #6 [1], so part of the RFC2616 errata [2].

It relates to the following thread [3] where the discussion about fragment 
combination started [4], and also about the difference between CL and 
Location [5], and the CGI definition at [6], and draft-bot-http-redirect [7]

So the discussion started in 1999, with some questions left open, and 
included in the errata.
Cheers,
