If you're saying "we should advocate the position that they are the same", 
I strongly disagree.

http://example.org/somedocument

and

http://example.org/somedocument#a

are different URIs.  See RFC 3986, and in particular the section on 
comparison [1].  I see nothing there to suggest that the two examples above 
are in general the same;  on the contrary, almost all of Web architecture 
and a fair amount of deployed infrastructure for the Semantic Web depends 
on their being different (or at least not presumed the same).
