Re: ISSUE-84 (Cool URIs and HTTPRange-14): The W3C TAG has asked us to mention that the use of fragment identifiers can be problematic [LC Comment - RDFa Core 1.1]

agree, good thinking re @vocab too!

We could define Absolute-URI pointing to [1]

   absolute-URI  = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ]

[1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.3

We actually may have an issue around this, that may be worth raising (if 
you agree I can raise it) - because currently we use the phrase "AbsURI" 
(e.g. TERMorCURIEorAbsURI) through the spec to refer to a "URI" (not an 
absolute uri), and now it seems need to define a real AbsURI.

I'd be happy to detail the issue and run through the spec pointing to 
the areas where things are ambiguous, with proposed text to clear up the 
issue.

Best,

Nathan

That is the only URI that an RDFa processor will dereference, and two different URI-s differing by a fragid only will return the same graph. On the other hand, using two different URI-s for the same graph my make the local caching process inefficient (unless clients would strip the fragid part before caching but I would not expect them to do that...)
