I agree that applies to fragment identifiers in general (in fact the example I gave in my P.S. was a hash URI that illustrated the point). I think it's particularly prevalent when you're looking at the types of web application that use dynamic transclusion, which are the class that will benefit most from using the hash-bang convention. So I suspect there will be a correlation.
