It is possible in many other distros (like the ubuntu
example I gave earlier), but once grub has done it's
thing, the linux kernel needs to know how to keep
going, which means loop mount and squashfs support
in the initrd, and probably strange and wondrous
kernel boot parameters you need to specify to tell
it about the iso file. Certainly the ubuntu example
needs funny kernel parameters.

So either fedora has the needed support and the
info you need to pass to the kernel boot line is
too obscure for anyone to figure out, or it doesn't
have everything it needs in the initrd, and it won't
work at all.
