It depends if we want to allow infinite precision or only 1/10th of 
second. I think that you are right and we shoul allow infinite precision, 
so move
clocktime = ( 1*DIGIT [ "." 1*DIGIT ] timeunit ) /
             ( 1*DIGIT ":" 2DIGIT ":" 2DIGIT [ "." 1*DIGIT ] )
also timeunit might be optional, no? leading to
clocktime = ( 1*DIGIT [ "." 1*DIGIT ] [ timeunit ] ) /
             ( 1*DIGIT ":" 2DIGIT ":" 2DIGIT [ "." 1*DIGIT ] )

I will do the first modification now, for the second I'd rather wait for 
WG's decision.

That is really a sub-part more than a fragment, we might address it for 
the identification of just the audio part (see discussion about changing 
mime type for fragment/full sub-resources), but I don't remember if we 
just forgot, or if we dropped. Do someone remember?
