We already have an implementation that saves perspectives as snippets. Why wouldn't you enhance that? The MPartDescriptors that in the model are really specializations of fragments because we needed very specific behaviour and didn't have the support for applying fragments in post-model-processing. The toolbar and menu contributions are worse, we just didn't have another way to re-generate fragments on every "matching" creation (like adding a new MTrimmedWindow to the model should re-apply all relevant menu contributions, except we didn't have the proper fragment story and so it's done with hooks during rendering/post rendering).
