But RFC3023 says that "Fragment identification" is part of the
'generic' processing implied by foo+xml.
--- http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt ---
7. A Naming Convention for XML-Based Media Types
This document recommends the use of a naming convention (a suffix of
'+xml') for identifying XML-based MIME media types, whatever their
particular content may represent. This allows the use of generic XML
processors and technologies on a wide variety of different XML
document types at a minimum cost, using existing frameworks for media
type registration.
...
Some areas where 'generic' processing is useful include:
...
o Fragment identification - XPointers (work in progress) can work
with any XML document, whatever vocabulary it uses and whether or
not it uses XPointer for its own fragment identification.
just being a nit
