Suppose I assign the ID 'mars' to represent the planet mars in my RDFa document. I can then refer to it using http://example.com/foo#mars. What does it mean when my javascript calls document.getElementById('mars')? Should I expect now to manipulate the planet mars? This is an analagous dilemma as for slash URIs except the domain is html + javascript rather than http. Just like your claimed slash URI problems, in practice it is a non-issue because people don't really expect to manipulate planets with javascript. Some dumb machine might assume that in the future but they are going to make a lot of similar mistakes that will cause a lot more problems. Ian
