It makes sense to me to harmonize all these, since they're all doing
similar parsing.

What changes do you expect need to be made to
http://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags/#media-fragment-syntax ?

At the time that we specified that part of the spec, nothing existed that
we could reference, which is why we had to specify it.
Could this generic fragment parsing approach be included into the URL spec
and just be referenced from the media frag spec?
