URI of a packaged file

In the Runtime/Security spec, an app: URI scheme is defined. 

Can this scheme be used to retrieve files over XHR from within a packaged app (e.g., getting a JSON or text file)? Or is there some other mechanism for doing that?

Also, is there some reason why fragment identifiers are forbidden by the scheme? 

When the app: URI is dereferenced, how is content type mapping handled (i.e., does the implementation just rely on content type sniffing)?
