Using fragment identifiers with Markdown docs

Hi Markdown folks:
I wanted to see if people have feelings or opinions about using fragment
identifiers with Markdown (and Markdown-derivative, such as pandoc,
kramdown, etc.) content.
It is useful to say things like
readme.md#how-to-install
So that a Markdown editor could scroll to the right content.
To my mind, the prime candidates for this treatment are the [link
reference identifiers][lref] and for some formats, the attributed text
{#blahblah }. Link reference identifiers are part of the original
Markdown syntax. On the other hand, they don't produce any identifiers
in HTML/XHTML. Clearly attributed text is useful to identify both
Markdown and output regions.

Thanks,
Sean
