Something else concerning first-class Netizenry: I'd like to see the spec to require UAs support implicit anchors, so that one can link to a specific startpoint: <URL:http://domain.example/movie.ogg#21:08>, to mean "fetch the movie and start playing it at 21 minutes 8 seconds into the movie". (Or better yet, if this can be achieved reliably, don't fetch the entire movie,but only from 21:08 on.)
Well besides the fact that fragment ids cannot start with a number nor contain a colon, you have to consider the problem of multiple unequal representations. In this example equivalent content is not at the same time offset. Clicking the link should take you to the relevant place whether the UA is rendering the video, the audio or the transcript:
<p>You <a href="#gegenschein">see the gegenschein</a> if you really squint.</p>
<video src="video-with-visual-splash.mpeg">
<fragment-position for="#splash" time="00:00" />
<fragment-position for="#gegenschein" time="02:13" />
<audio src="audio-with-spoken-splash.aiff">
<fragment-position for="#splash" time="00:00" />
<fragment-position for="#gegenschein" time="02:24" />
<!-- transcript fallback -->
