According to the URI RFC (2316?), a relative URI like this:

    <a href="#foo">Go to foo on this page</a>

should not generate a new request.  That also reflects my experience with them.
Therefore, they need not be URL encoded.  (And, for good measure, where would
you put the ";jsessionid=xxx" anyway, since the #foo part is supposed to go
last?)
