Description Julian Reschke 2012-06-24 11:22:06 UTC 
"Fragment identifiers have no meaning with the application/x-www-form-urlencoded type as this type is only used for uploaded payloads that do not have URL identifiers."

That is misleading, because there's no reason why this media type couldn't show up in a payload of a GET response. Suggest to simply state:

"This specification does not define fragment identifier semantics for this media type".
