Best Practices for Fragment Identifiers and Media Type Definitions Draft Published

26 July 2012

The Technical Architecture Group has published the First Public Working Draft of Best Practices for Fragment Identifiers and Media Type Definitions. Fragment identifiers within URIs are specified as being interpreted based on the media type of a representation. Media type definitions therefore have to provide details about how fragment identifiers are interpreted for that media type. This document recommends best practices for the authors of media type definitions, for the authors of structured syntax suffix definitions (such as +xml), for the authors of specifications that define syntax for fragment identifiers, and for authors that publish documents that are intended to be used with fragment identifiers or who refer to URIs using fragment identifiers.
