Description

The Media Fragments URI Specification defines how dimensions (spatial, temporal, track, …) can be specified. <img src="foo.png#xywh=10,20,100,40"> would specify to show a cropped version of the actual image (100x40 pixels at a 10x20 pixel offset). <audio src="/audio.ogg#t=5,20"> wouls specify to play the audio file from 5th second till 20th second.

URI('foo.png#xywh=10,20,100,40').mediaFragment() could return {x: 10, y: 20, w:100, height:40}, while URI('foo.png').mediaFragment({y: 20, w:100, x: 10, height:40}) could lead to foo.png#xywh=10,20,100,40.

Things get more interesting with converting different representations of the same information, as the Temporal Dimension notation shows.

Research direction

Start with the Media Fragments URI Specification and the linked JavaScript implementation to map spatial, temporal, and track fragment representations. Use the examples in the issue as the initial acceptance cases; done means URI instances can read and write the requested media fragment information, including conversions between equivalent temporal notations.
