A quick check on iOS 17.5 gives me working links when omitting the equals symbol, like #page70 instead of #page=70

Now, this is very much against the spec [0]. At first glance, the doubled functionality of encoding parameters is irritating, there are query parameters already, so ?page=70 would seem more consistent. But then, this has been worked on for a long and it makes sense to add a whole set of functions for certain mime-types.
