Summary: urllib, fragment identifiers and 404s

Initial Comment:
URLOpener raises a 404 IOError accessing a non-existent fragment 
identifier on certain web servers (in fact, all that I've tested, 
except Apache).

I couldn't find any user-agent guidelines, but 
every user-agent I've tested returns the document with a 200 
response code (including lynx).

To repeat:
