Imagining CSS for URLs and HTTP Headers

I'm kind of missing the part that explains why you'd need this?

I don't think it completely solves it, but it would be useful to be able to apply styling to a specific part of the page ie: highlight something so when you send it, it saves the receiver a little time searching for it.

Or in a similar vein, wouldn't it be cool to make any header an anchor? So I could say,

http://example.com/article.html#second_header

or whatever. Not the same concept, but it would be useful.

There's really nothing stopping a UA from doing this, and in bygone eras "document trees" used to be part of browser UIs.

Gemini clients still keep that dream alive, although there's plenty of disagreement as to exactly how it should function: https://gitlab.com/gemini-specification/gemini-text/-/issues...

You already can make any header an anchor, right?

eg: <h2 id="second_header">Second Header</h2>
