You are confounding two cases. A query string (with leading "?") *is*
part of the URI, and is server-side. A fragment id (with leading "#")
refers to a portion of an entity body, and is inherently client-side.
We (i.e. the Core WG) decided not to burden XML parsers with fragment-id
processing, which might involve XPointers.
Queries into a database would surely involve "?", so they are all right.
