At the time the data URI RFC was written RFC 2396 was still the URI RFC and there fragment identifiers were not a formal part of the URI syntax but rather something you could append to any URI during retrieval operations, which is clearly what data URIs are for.

the same (though not if you modify a fragment on a already entered
uri)
