It depends critically on what you think the 
semantics of the fragment are.  In HTML (the best 
analogy I can think of), the web page is not 
trimmed or edited in any way -- you are merely 
directed to one section of it.

I am also aware that browsers that don't 
implement fragments will also show the whole 
resource;  so authors can't rely on he trimming.

Given both of these, I tend towards using # as a 
focus of attention;  if trimming is desired, the 
server should probably do it (maybe using ?).
