Hi Geoffrey! Welcome! Actually, there is no specification available yet, so I wonder what draft you are referring to. :-) Indeed, where the server does not support fragments, the fallback is full media download. Good to spell it out, even if it seems obvious to us. As for the user agent - it should not have to think much about it, since it's a URI, so it's just retrieving a resource. Still, there may be some optimisations that we want to build into the UA. Cheers, Silvia.
