Propose to add: "ITS 1.0 information can be used e.g. by localization tools
to extract localizable units (e.g. text strings) as an input to the
localization process."

OK - I propose to leave the "Fragment identifiers" part out.

Any XML document containing ITS 1.0 "its:rules" elements can be labelled
with application/its+xml. At
http://www.w3.org/TR/its/EX-link-external-rules-2.xml
you see an example of a document linking to a file with ITS 1.0 "rules". The
link target is at
http://www.w3.org/TR/its/EX-link-external-rules-1.xml
as you can see the link target does not have "its:rules" as a root element.
The processing semantics here is that linked rules are gathered in document
order.
