According to RFC 1738, the characters that should be escaped in a URL
are {\$&+,:/=?@}. It defines the following characters to be unsafe, and
hence undefined as to how the application can/will handle it and remain
compliant with the RFC: { "`'<>#%\{\}|\\\^~[]}
So... you're partially right. It doesn't *have* to. The point is that
the intended use of the hash mark is as a named-anchor reference. It
doesn't have to be passed. It depends on the application's
implementation of RFC 1738.
