Yes, but what does it mean to "be XML"?  Does that simply mean
"be a well-formed XML document", or is it also required that
the media-type be "application/xml" or "text/xml"?  If the
media-type is "application/vnd.foo-systems.bar", but the format
happens to be well-formed XML, is the fragment ID necessarily
to be interpreted as an XPointer?
