What does "not supported" imply?  Does it just give the entire image
then, ignoring the "fragment" part of the request entirely?

If so, that's fine with me.  I request that it be stated something
more like the following, though:

"If the clipping region is pixel-based and the image is
multi-resolution (like an ICO file), the fragment MUST be ignored, so
that the url represents the entire image."

This specifies a specific, testable behavior.
