The primary Clear Audio requirement should read: (CA-1) Support clear audio as a separate, alternative audio track from other audio-based alternative media resources. The salient point is that we do not require user agents to create clear audio. Rather, clear audio is, or is not produced at the same time as the primary media resource audio is mxed down. Thus, it becomes simply another alternative media resource to be correctly identified by metadata. Any user agent which wishes to expiriment with "reverse karaoke" type strategies to create something approaching clear audio is welcome to do so, of course. However, that is not how we expect clear audio to be generated, nor is it how clear audio is generated today.
