You can also rely on cached resources, so all the client-side processing 
of media fragments make sense to have on its own.

Also "recommending" multiple ways of doing the same thing (the different 
recipes) is not a good recommendation as if people implement different 
ones, you won't have interoperability.
So I'd rather split the section 5.2 a skeep it in another document that 
will continue to evolve at its pace, as it is still in "exploratory 
mode".
