Thats useful to know John, thanks for passing that on. My initial reaction is that kind of thing should be supportable by relevant APIs, and I dare say, would be relatively easier, as it seems related to current 'knowns'. > Will the architecture support something like data-distraction, where the > goal would be to remove aspects of the content that are non-essential and > may have a negative impact on some users? ( > https://w3c.github.io/personalization-semantics/content/index.html#distraction-explanation > ) Again, useful to know - and this kind of thing could be useful in terms of the kind of 'modality muting' - where unnecessary renderings of an environment (such as the visual drawing), can be cut out of the data stream.
