I argue that the *scheme* does not define whether a fragment identifier
is permitted, but rather the media type of the referenced resource
defines it.

This does mean that if the scheme defines its URIs in such a way that
the referenced resource can never have a media type, or can never have a
media type that defines fragment identifiers, then the scheme
effectively forbids the use of fragment identifiers.  (sip: is an
example of such a scheme; its referenced resource can only be used
dynamically, and cannot be instantiated as a "media object".)

It may well be worth noting in a scheme definition whether one of these
cases hold, but it isn't *defining*.
