Yah, my thinking was that fragment ids would never be used, but given
our use of hrefs, and that RFC 3023 suggests the default should be to
delegate to it for fragment syntax, it seems the default choice should
have been to change it.  Henrik said the same thing offline too.

Ah, yes, silly me.  I also missed referring to 3023 for security
considerations too.  I'll fix both.
