Can't we have all of:
1) A way for authors to match up timecodes with fragment identifiers  
in the fallback content
2) A way for UAs to skip to that time code if a fragment identifier  
is requested and it's contained within fallback the UA isn't displaying
3) And a way for users to link to timecodes that aren't marked up at  
all.
