What should happen if the user seeks outside the fragment, then seeks back and
plays normally until the fragment end time? Does the video pause?

There are three options that I can see:

1. always pause at the fragment end time during normal playback
2. never pause at the fragment end time
3. pause depending on whether the user has seeked outside the fragment range or
not.

Option 3 is a bit risky, because a user trying to seek close to the beginning
or end of a range will easily miss and end up outside of the range, irrevocably
changing the behavior of the video. I think such a UI might be a bit too
magical.

I don't (yet) have a strong opinion between option 1 and 2.
