[HOME_NETWORK_TF] Definitions section

Hi all,
as discussed during last call I did a first attempt to define some of the  
terms we use when describing use cases.

Please check this section and provide comments
http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/HNTF/Home_Network_TF_Requirements#Definitions

Note the following:
- For some terms I reused Matt definition from [1]
- I've tried to define both document and application (since they are  
different). use cases can make use of both terms as appropriate
- For document, I partially reused the HTML5 definition [2]
- I have some comments in the text I would like to discuss in particular:

1. we often distinguish between TV and companion device (and I kept these  
terms from Matt proposal).
I'm wondering tough if this definition make sense nowadays; it seems to me  
that we have many overlaps in functionality and use of different devices  
in the home, so I would rather look at them as different "equally  
important" devices with different functionalities. In some usecases may  
still make sense to talk about a TV-set (the big screen in the home) but  
that would just be one particular device.

2. we probably need to extend a bit more the definition of "Programme"
