You're right. Nothing in the schema recommendation prohibits this, and I think it's fair to say that this was one of the use cases that some of us anticipated when doing the design. On the other hand, there is currently no published standard covering this idiom, setting conformance rules for processors, etc. The schema rec. is (intentionally) written so that such standards can be promulgated without republishing the schema rec. As you suggest, individual processors may or may not today support the fragment syntax (like you, I'm not sure that any of them do.)
