Now the #ZZZ is legitimate in the sense that my YYY.html does
contain that hypertext. However, in my experience, browsers do
not normally send the #ZZZ, as explained above.
My question is "how should I respond to it?"  Here are choices:

   1. Send 403 (Forbidden), which is what I do now.
   2. Strip the #ZZZ in my CGI and YYY.html normally.
   3. Something else I didn't think of.

I vote for 1.

Additionally, I wonder why the #ZZZ appeared in the first place.

a bug in the client I guess, I've seen this problem in some proxy server's
mailing list...

I would guess all that happened was the user bookmarked the page with the 
anchor.
I can't imagine it's a security problem.
