Well besides the fact that fragment ids cannot start with a number

We're not talking about IDs, just fragment identifiers. My point was that with video, you could use fragment identifiers *without* the need for the
author to provide IDs.

I see your point, but i would like for fragment identifiers within a video to be equal to fragment IDs in text fallback content. Therefore they have to be constrained to the same limits.

the client doing the request should be smart enough to know to escape the colon

Wikipedia section IDs have lots of escaping, but it's all done by the wiki server, not the UA. I don't know if this is because UAs can't be trusted to get it right or not.
