The use case for looping over a fragment are no worse than the use cases for
looping over the complete video. I'm not a fan of that attribute myself, but it
exists, it has an effect on video elements and it needs to show the expected
effect when the resource is limited to a fragment, too, which should be looping
over the fragment rather than the full video.
