So you're saying that http://frag.org/#xyz identifies a Web page and
not some kind of concept? HTTP is fine to use as a namespace, but one
should expect that occasionally people will attempt to dereference the
resources to gather more information about them. Whether or not they
find anything at the other end is up to the creator of the
namespace...

P.S. HTTP (sans Frag IDs) is intended to identify (MIME) content
suitable for hypertext pointing, rather than just hypertext itself.
