Absolutely.  Sorry for any confusion caused by the wording.  If and
when some or all of the XPointer Proposed Recommendations become full
Recommendations, then the W3C _may_ make a recommendation/request to
the IETF that all or a part of those Recommedations be adopted as the
frag-id syntax for the above listed media types.  That's all the W3C
can do, as the lines below underline.
