Ian, Thanks for putting this together after exhaustive discussions on this topic. I thought the <device> is a good start for a device selector. I also like the fact that this would allow the UA to decide on the appropriate UI for selection. Also on your comment about codec, Is there away you can negotiate the formats between the client-server in similar to DLNA? How do you envision the "type" attribute to evolve as new type of devices become available? How do you envision your work integrate with Device API WG's current spec? Is there some hand off between your <device> selector and Device API? Or not?
