I checked:
\url{http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.pdf#nameddest=Page.12}

\url{http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.pdf#Page=12}

\url{http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.pdf#nameddest=equation.3.8}

\url{http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.pdf#equation.3.8}

work  but 

\url{http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.pdf#nameddest=Page=12}

does not. 


However there seems to be a difference between

*   \url{http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.pdf#nameddest=Page.12}
**  \url{http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.pdf#Page.12}

*** \url{http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.pdf#Page=12}


The *** always works while *, ** only if document was produced with hyperref. 
And if *, ** work they work in the different way from *** if applied
to book with
first few pages roman numbered: Page=3 leads to Page iii while Page.3
leads to Page 3, etc


*** refers to physical page while *, ** refer to the anchor which
hyperref puts on pages!




In the document you refer to (thanks a lot!!) on page 8 the examples
are listed:

http://example.org/doc.pdf#nameddest=Chapter6
http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3
http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3&zoom=200,250,100
http://example.org/doc.pdf#zoom=50
http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=72&view=fitH,100
http://example.org/doc.pdf#view=fitb&nameddest=Chapter3
http://example.org/doc.pdf#pagemode=none
http://example.org/doc.pdf#pagemode=bookmarks&page=2
http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3&pagemode=thumbs
http://example.org/doc.pdf#collab=DAVFDF@http://review_server/Collab/user1
http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=1&comment=452fde0e-fd22-457c-84aa-2cf5bed5a349
http://example.org/doc.pdf#fdf=http://example.org/doc.fdf

and nameddest is not applied to page at all. 

=========================

Deviating from TeX and pdf I began to wonder, which other formats
could contain anchors or pages which one can address? djvu (popular
for digitalizing of paper
derelicts) is not one of them. May be .mov? 

All the best                                   Victor
