OK, fair enough. But would you think MPEG people would have a problem with
using the newly defined schemes or would they defend (for whatever reason)
the existing fragment addressing scheme for MPEG?

If there are no implementations (for whatever reasons), I don't see much of
an issue in introducing a new one - that's all.
