Re: Media Fragments Working Group: Agenda 17 March, Telecon 1000 UTC

I notice there's no action for fixing the ABNF after I removed the  
mediasegment definition and all of the *segment definitions (those with  
'=', ignoring the encoding of the name and value). I'm not sure what the  
fix is, but would really like to see this issue settled in a way that  
everyone is happy with.

The problem: It's currently completely undefined at the URI level if  
something is a valid media fragment or not. I think it should be undefined  
at this level, but that we should add the constraints on the name-value  
level. Other think differently, but we need to do it in some way.

I should be able to attend if this will be discussed (but I'd rather  
discuss it per mail, as usual).

(Certainly the semantics should be more strictly defined too, but that  
isn't a new problem.)
