OK. Your understanding is not correct. Servers do not process the fragment

Thanks, Chris -- I stand corrected. Other main points from my
previous post still stand, though.
Yes, of course. I was not disagreeing with your entire post - just the
particular part about fragment identifiers appended to URIs.
Many SMIL constructs have values
that are XPointer subsets, rather than being SMIL-only. This
minimizes format re-learning and facilitates future further
incorporation of XPointer. Full XPointer is not required in SMIL, but
is explicitly enabled.
That seems to be wise at this point; a future direction is clearly shown,
and what is there is compatible (proper subset) so a general purpose
XPointer inmplementation can be used.
