A nitpick, I'm not really an expert on URI's but is "fragment" really the correct name for that I would call the "hash"? That would be "nose" in the example below.

Yes, that's the term in the standard.

Javascript calls it the hash though, but it is slightly different: the # symbol itself is not part of the fragment according to the standard.

But javascript's location.hash does return it.

URL: example.com/
location.hash
""

location.hash = "test"
"test"

URL changes to: example.com/#test

location.hash;
"#test"



The fragment would technically just be "test" there.
