Comment (by markjaquith):

 I think Mark was mistaken in that instance, because he was linking to the
 same document.

 See: http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.html#sec-4.4

 What's really interesting is that people are now using those fragments as
 permalinks for AJAX-powered applications, because you can change that
 fragment in the location bar of the browser without refreshing the page.
 But then what happens if someone visits a URL that is [baseurl]#fragment1
 and then from that URL tries to go to [baseurl]#fragment2 ?  RFC3986 says
 that the browser shouldn't issue a new request, because it is considered a
 same document reference.

 So, clever, but not foolproof.

 As for this issue, we ''could'' fix it by running a {{{preg_replace()}}}
 filter on RSS content, but I don't know if it's worth it.
