“fragment” is a term in an Internet standard specifying URIs/URLs; “hash 
part” is not.  Furthermore, “hash” is a rather overloaded word with regard 
to computers (ask a theoretical computer scientist, a Perl programmer, an 
ECMAScript programmer, and a Twitter user – you will get *five* different 
definitions); “fragment” rather is not.

A legacy, although perhaps soon a standardized, DOM feature whose property 
value is not well-defined (depending on the DOM implementation, can be with 
or without “#”).  If possible, parse document.URL instead.

Besides:

Informative, not normative.

I do not think it is uncommon that the English genitive (“of”) is replaced 
with a compound word for brevity.  Perhaps I should have said ”URI fragment 
identifier component” (although there is a “fragment” production in the URI 
ABNF grammar, so my meaning should have been clear), but other than that you 
do not have a point.
