#126: Fragments are part of URIs syntactically, but not part of URI scheme
definitions

 With respect to fragment identifiers, make sure that the following two
 things are clear to people creating new schemes:

 1) Fragment identifiers are part of URIs, and scheme definitions cannot
 and MUST NOT disallow fragments on specific schemes (even if the usability
 of a fragment id on the particular scheme being defined seems questionable
 at the time the scheme definition is made).

 2) Fragment identifiers are independent of schemes, depending on MIME
 media types, and therefore scheme definitions cannot define anything about
 fragment identifiers.
