Hmmm.... I'm a really lazy typist creating links to a collection of
documents with a shared base URI.  I have to create a lot of links to a
document at the base ID, and in fact to a particular fragid-identified
location in that document.  Since I don't want to type the fragid
repeatedly, I drop it in the base URI and type a lot of <a href="">.

That's the only thing I can think of, and I'm not sure it would work
reliably anyway. 

Maybe someone has something more convincing?
