Re: ACTION-201: Write a paragraph, note to developers, that they can easily implement a javascript to forward the hash on the URI to the video element (Media Fragments Working Group)

Thanks, good piece! I'm wondering if we should not provide a 
"mediafragment.js" implementation capable of parsing a URI and says 
whether or not it is strictly, or partly, or not at all a media fragment 
URI. Assuming you have such a js to import into your web page, one could 
use it to test whether the URL of a web page is a media fragment URI or 
not, and decides to either change the @src attribute of a media element 
or call the scrollTo() function and realize what you describe in the 
section 7.5.
This js could then be seen as a complete client side parser of the media 
fragment URI syntax. Any taker?
