I mostly like the Eilon version.  Is there a reason not to replace "should"
with "must"?  Also, I don't see why the case of combining multiple fragments
from the same producer needs specific mention (is it more technically
important than composing fragments from different producers?).

I suggest:

  This specification MUST provide a mechanism that ensures that
different presentation fragments can be "safely" combined to a single
document. In particular, if a presentation formats (such as HTML)
mandates uniqueness of tokens in a single document, it MUST be
possible to compose a page in a way that guarantees uniqueness.
