It looks like the current spec does not affect URL per se, but does have this remark re the fragment directive: "It is reserved for UA instructions, such as text=, and is stripped from the URL during loading so that author scripts can’t directly interact with it.” <https://wicg.github.io/scroll-to-text-fragment/#the-fragment-directive <https://wicg.github.io/scroll-to-text-fragment/#the-fragment-directive>> The is not specified precisely enough for interop. What does it mean to strop the fragment directive from the UR? When during loading does this occur? Section 3.3.1 is more specific <https://wicg.github.io/scroll-to-text-fragment/#parsing-the-fragment-directive <https://wicg.github.io/scroll-to-text-fragment/#parsing-the-fragment-directive>> in that it monkeypatches the HTML create and initialize a Document object steps in a way that would affect what JavaScript sees. However, it’s not clear what happens to other ways the UA exposes the URL, such as in the location field, or if the page is bookmarked or shared. Regards, Maciej
