Research direction

Start with point 4 in the linked overview issue comment and trace the URL normalisation and URI-obtaining entry points in python-scraperlib. Reproduce the case involving a URL-encoded #, then confirm that the fragment-related character is preserved consistently in the path and when obtaining the entry URI.
