>From https://www.w3.org/annotation/track/issues/7

Is it possible, and if not is it desirable, to be able to validate the
 values of FragmentSelectors against the specification that it is 
claimed to conform to?

For example, if a Selector claims that it conforms to the text/plain 
fragment syntax, and it is actually random characters, is it (a) 
possible to detect, and (b) is there anything that we need to do?

My proposal is that this is an implementation concern, and that given 
the conformsTo link, it would be possible to construct a validation 
suite.  Thus we should close #7 (in the W3C tracker) and this one.
