I'm not sure who posted the issue: >Open issues > >Are applets being considered as multimedia? I would like to recommend that "interactive multimedia", which is multimedia that has hot spots that can be selected, receive focus, etc. be considered in a separate area - such as "interactive multimedia". Since not all applets employ multimedia clips I don't think of applets as being considered multimedia. Multimedia (video and audio) is or can be added to applets to end up with interactive multimedia, while from the other point of view there are existing multimedia clips that are enhanced with programming behind it to end up with interactive multimedia. Also, the role of the user agent and/or special plug-in and/or "player" for that multimedia type needs to be considered.
