No, they (or at least links to them) typically are that bad! Mind you, as far as fragment identification is concerned, so are a lot of html pages. But even if the links do have fragment ids, pdfs still impose a significant overhead: I don't want stuff swapped out just so that I can run a pdf viewer; a web browser uses up enough resources as it is. And will Hoogle link into pdfs?
I prefer HTML for online viewing and PDF for offline. BTW, you might consider a trick: look up the PDF on google, use the HTML view. This is generally poor for documents with significant graphics, but works reasonably well for most Haskell papers (modulo math I usually can't figure out anyway, lacking the background many Haskellers have in set theory / rings / groups/semigroups etc.). -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
