I don't see any problem with this.  Both those specs explicitly opt
_in_ to 3023bis's syn/sem for fragids as speced therein for
applicaition/xml.  So they are precisely compatible with Noah's
proposed change, which would amount to _requiring_ such an explicit
opt-in. . .

Still looking for an example of a case where (to now make things
concrete) some 'generic' XML processor which conformed to the proposed
change to 3023bis would do the wrong thing wrt some URI of the form
xxx#yyy, where xxx identified itself as application/xproc+xml, and the
implementors of said processors were _not_ aware of the opt-in.

IOW, what generic XML processor inteprets fragids at all. . .
