I think since this is an anchor link it's just fine to change for compatibility. People are already used to slugs in fragments and elsewhere that don't include every possible component, and I think it would be better to produce more compatible ones over more precise ones. The burden of the change is very small, and the benefit is much greater. --=20 brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204 --RhUH2Ysw6aD5utA4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.2.20 (GNU/Linux) iHUEABYKAB0WIQQILOaKnbxl+4PRw5F8DEliiIeigQUCXswGBQAKCRB8DEliiIei gd12AQCz0wDU1rrrXqk1MnyF0XrYXCYEbRBtJzrX46QWsmx5iwEA0dtvKnLG/l9J I7aE4gjxUecR02ESLW+HG1vl99/Vdws= =Kn04 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --RhUH2Ysw6aD5utA4--
