So, now I am completely confused. I don't understand any more which
case Philip is arguing and which Yves. I thought Yves argued that they
are valid media fragments, while Yves that they are not.

I personally believe they should be valid, since our discussion was
always that we would ignore name-value parameters that the UA (or the
server) doesn't understand.

Cheers,
Silvia.
