This is perfectly in-scope of this ISSUE. However, it seems to me that 
the group consensus is that "addressing a single frame of a video as an 
image" will create a *new* resource. It is therefore *NOT* a fragment. 
It might be possible to create such a resource using a '?' followed by 
the same syntax of the media fragment URI. It might be possible to use 
the link header provided by http to provide a (typed) link towards the 
video resource from which the image comes from. The mime type of this 
new resource would certainly be image/jpeg for example.

The summary is, returning an image frame from a video is not a fragment 
of this video.
Cheers!
