Technical Summary
 
   This memo defines URI fragment identifiers for text/plain MIME
   entities.  These fragment identifiers make it possible to refer to
   parts of a text/plain MIME entity, either identified by character
   position or range, or by line position or range.  Fragment
   identifiers may also contain hash information to make them more
   robust.

Protocol Quality
 
 This was reviewed for the IESG by Chris Newman.  Substantive review
 comments were provided by many contributors.  Secdir review was
 provided by Jeffrey Hutzelman.  This has been discussed for some time
 in the URI community.  During IETF last call, there were some strong
 feelings that the regular expression feature was too complex so the
 feature was removed from the specification (and this removal was
 verified on the IETF mailing list).
