Apologies--turns out this not an issue, due to a combination of another 
developer's and my misunderstanding of URL component hierarchy.

A URL in the form https://client.ucdavis.edu/?ticket=ST-...#/index.html looks 
to be perfectly valid. Query and fragment components are peer elements, so 
splitting, validating/discarding the ST, and perhaps recombining what's left 
(scheme, authority, fragment) is not an incorrect thing to do.

Tom.
