It doesn't matter how many exist, but that this case can occur. Thus
we have to cover it in the test case.

Yes, there definitely will be. The first media fragment server that
provides media fragment queries will create such resources. As we
encourage people to implement such services, we should also provide
for the possibility that such files will exist. Even if only 0.1% of
all files that now exist have that property.
