Of course none of the

How easy a particular user interface is to use for various tasks
is (I hope)
not our worry...
I'm not sure I agree. If the spec provides a feature set that no one
is able to create a useful UI for, then there definitely might be a
problem with the spec.
I still have not received any comments on my previous assertion that
there are essentially two separate use cases here. One for bringing
attention to a specific point in a larger context, one for showing
only a smaller range of a video.
Just to confirm: yes, there are two separate use cases. (I was under
the impression that the discussion had brought that out).
Yes, that's fine. I think it's clear that we could have a 'verb' in
the fragment "focus-on", "select" etc. to indicate that. I think
it's also clear that no matter what verb is used, the entire resource
is 'available' to the UA, that scripts can (if they wish) navigate
anywhere in the entire resource, and that UAs can optimize the
interface for the given verb, but the interface can still permit
access to the entire resource.
