A question regarding section 1.2 of the spec

1.2:
> The path, query and fragment components are allowed and have no
> special meanings beyond those defined by the generic syntax.

We know that the query portion of URIs is reserved for response code 10
and 11, but fragment is never used anywhere in the protocol.

So both query and fragment are dealt with absolutely differently in the
protocol, but both are categorized under the same "allowed and have no
special meanings", may I ask in what context do they have no special
meanings? I'm confused a bit.

Also, what does "defined by the generic syntax" refer to? what syntax?
