Media Source Extensions normatively specifies a method,
addSourceBuffer(type)
<http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/raw-file/tip/media-source/media-source.html#mediasource-methods>,
on SourceBuffer objects to handle these matters. The informative
sections of Media Source Extensions follow a normative section
<http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/raw-file/tip/media-source/media-source.html#byte-stream-formats>
detailing support for byte stream formats under certain conditions
(support for resources of that format).

CSS FX would require additional normative content to be analogous to
Media Source Extensions.

Please clarify:

Do you not recommend any shading language at all?
Do you not recommend any *specific* shading language?
Do you not recommend any technical means to manage shading language
media type divergence?

where 'you' is understood as 'Microsoft' and 'recommend' is understood
as 'would propose that the specification recommends'.
