I think eRDF's approach is worth noting here - when translated into 
RDF,  rel and rev links relate the current *document* *fragment* to the 
*href.*

It's not quite what the spec says, but I think it's sensible: after all, 
the href can point to a document fragment, so the  rel/rev should also 
be able to relate  to  the current document fragment as well.
