Hum, does it mean we should put some restrictions in defining media 
fragments and in particular forbid to request spatio-temporal points? 
That is, for the temporal dimension, only non-empty interval can be 
requested, and for the the spatial dimension, only non-empty bounding 
box can be requested? Can you think of other restrictions?
Best regards.
