    <thetext>location.reload() is specified to cause a regular navigation, and nothing in the initial six steps of the navigation algorithm seems to specifically prevent reload() from reaching the step labeled &quot;Fragment identifiers&quot;.  So reload() could end up causing just a fragment navigation.

This doesn&apos;t correspond to the behavior of real browsers, where reload() always causes a re-fetch of the document, even if the document address has a fragment.</thetext>
