application/json fragment identifiers should be added to this list.
There seems to be a fairly mature proposal along the lines of the XPointer
"element" scheme.  Some people don't like it because you can't tell by
examining a fragment id what type of JSON value it references.  By the
same token, however, you can't tell by examining a URI pointing to a
JSON document what JSON type it references either.
