[uf-discuss] Why not allow tags on within page links?

[Andy Mabbett]

Why not also allow tagging on within-page links (i.e. after "#" as well
as after "/")? Then, if I have a page with sub-sections, each of those
could be a tag, according to their ID:

        <ul class="navbar">
        <li><a href="#whisky" rel="tag">Whisky</a></li>
        <li><a href="#wine" rel="tag">Wine</a></li>
        </ul>

        [...]

        <h2 id="whisky">"Whisky</h2>
        [...]

        <h2 id="wine">"Wine</h2>
        [...]

the only issue I can see would be backwards capacity if the link was to
a sub-section of a second (or external) page :

        <a href="http://www.example.com/apage.htm#beer"
        rel="tag">Beer</a>

which existing parsers might interpret as a tag of:

        apage#beer
