bb.command.load doesn't work with e:fragment

When searching through the BDN forum for e:fragment you will find multiple complaints about javascript errors when using bb.command.load, or the declarive c:load equivalent, in combination with the <e:fragment /> as the root node of the requested file. Hopefully this blog post will clearify this issue.

In essence, the <e:fragment /> is an empty container, it will not be resolved to an XHTML element in the DOM structure. For instance, the <b:box /> is translated by the Client engine to a plain XHTML <div /> element. The <e:fragment /> tag doesn't have such a template.
