No, they (or at least links to them) typically are that bad!
Mind you, as far as fragment identification is concerned, so
are a lot of html pages. But even if the links do have
fragment ids, pdfs still impose a significant overhead: I
don't want stuff swapped out just so that I can run a pdf
viewer; a web browser uses up enough resources as it is. And
will Hoogle link into pdfs?
I prefer HTML for online viewing and PDF for offline.
BTW, you might consider a trick: look up the PDF on google, use the
HTML view. This is generally poor for documents with significant
graphics, but works reasonably well for most Haskell papers (modulo
math I usually can't figure out anyway, lacking the background many
Haskellers have in set theory / rings / groups/semigroups etc.).
