This is a valid point guys! I really expect some discussions about this
in Prague.
Basically I understand and fully support Michal if he wants to keep his
work item very focused. On the other hand I also think that
inter-working with the videoconferencing arena inevitable somehow some
point. We should take this issue up on the right place. I'm open if we
want to have an other work item specifically dealing with the potential
links towards videoconferencing...

Let's keep this discussion for Prague.

Cheers,
Peter
