Description stephen.bugzilla 2012-10-16 08:44:14 PDT 
The http-equiv refresh below used to work, but now causes infinite loop.

<head>
	<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=#x" />
</head>
<body>
	<a name="x">X</a>
</body>

I can also see the point of view, that perhaps it is correct in what it is now doing.

However, from the backwards compatibility and compatibility with other browsers point of view, it is currently broken.
