I don't see why it is 'against the rules' to let the media fragment semantics unspecified for some media type? I use exactly the same argument that you have, but my interpretation is the opposite. It seems to me that RFC3986 saves us because of the second statement: "If no such representation exists, then the semantics of the fragment are considered unknown and are effectively unconstrained." and I think this is the framework we would like to be. Why that is against the rules? >> Third, that was not really the question asked in the ISSUE, although, I >> agree it is not completely clear. > > Then, please, phrase the questions so that they are unambiguous. Still I see > an issue here and you may want to choose to create a new one for 'my' issue. Oh please, do so. Do you have permission using the tracker web interface? If you don't, then please, let me know. Note that the tracker does not automatically send (yet) an email to the list, we are working on that with Yves, so you would need to send an email manually once the issue is created (sorry for the inconvenience). Cheers.
