This is not conformant with the XML DSIG spec and XPath has nothing to
do with it. See sections 4.3.3.2 and 4.3.3.3; in particular, the final
example in 4.3.3.2 and the following quote from the start of 4.3.3.3
In a fragment URI, the characters are the number sign
('#') character conform to the XPointer syntax.
If you follow the link in the XML DSIG spec, you are redirected to a
newer W3C document, (the XPointer framework) which explains that this
must refer to an XML ID.
