In slightly different language...

"example.xml" happens to be how you (the software) obtained a copy of a
representation of "a.html".

The relative URI reference #apple "points" to a location within the
representation you have, whose canonical URI is given to us as http://w
ww.dictionary.com/a.html regardless of how you came to find it.

There's no expectation in HTML at least that following a link to #apple
will involve fetching a different resource - rather, base, and
xml:base, tell us where we really are when we do that.
