Draft response to Alice

<begin draft>

Dear Alice:

Thank you for raising Issue #476[1] asking about duplication between
Distraction in our Module 1 specification draft and CSS' Media Queries
5.

We have spent a good deal of time considering this in our past several
teleconferences[2][3] and have come to the following conclusions:

*	While there is some overlap distraction is much more
*	comprehensive than MQ5. However, our examples have inadvertently
*	focussed on the overlap, not the broader scope supported in our
*	specification. We are creating new examples to remedy this.

*	We have decided nto let the overlap stand for now rather than to
*	try and split out the items covered in MQ5. As this is all new
*	technology, we feel this is more appropriate at this stage.
*	Let's see how devedlopers and content authors apply both our
*	spec and MQ5.

Thanks again for bringing this overlap to our attention. We had not
previously addressed it in our conversations, and we do need to be aware
of the overlap and prepared to respond substantively when questions like
yours come up.

Best,
