No UA, to my knowledge, has problems with fragments in the replies from POST submissions, nor in the replies from submissions with METHOD=GET, nor in the case of CGI scripts set up to return the form when the Request-URI has no ?searchpart or POST content. The only variations among UAs is in whether they resolve "lone fragments" versus "(current document)" or "base", and that's orthogonal to the issue of whether one is dealing with forms. There is, of course, the difference that both URL#fragment and Request-URI?searchpart#fragment work in any context, whereas Request-URI(+ POST content)#fragment presently works only when Request-URI(+ POST content) is the "(current document)". and nothing can be done about that until real consensus is reached on how to represent "(+ POST content)", e.g., in bookmark links, as well as in other contexts. >I would expect fragment references to work in emailed >documents, too, even though there is may be no useful >BASE for the resolution of other relative URLs. One can include a <BASE HREF="scheme://host/path"> tag in the mailed markup. Some browsers (e.g., Netscape, Lynx) add a BASE tag to the top of emailed text/html. That's just a "works, for now" hack, and they send a Content-Base header as well, which hopefully, someday, will actually do the job. (so the "works, for now" hack can be eliminated :) The URL draft's "lone fragment" rule (with Roy's "clarification of intent") works fine in that context.
