That's one thing I didn't like at the proposed link syntax. Why not
request parameters to always be on the third position? The semantic
shouldn't influence the syntax, I really don't like sniffing to
determine what that fragment does. And I don't think we should forbid
characters in document names.
Another option would be to use different delimiters, for example > as
the delimiter between label and reference, and | as a delimiter before
parameters (note that > and | were both valid delimiters in the old syntax)
