[apis] Update HNReq note or publish new document

Dear Media APIs TF members,

Since we started our work in the Media APIs TF, I have been rather worried
that we may be reinventing the wheel - or more accurately, that we were
not most efficient in building upon the two years of work by the Home
Networking TF in 2011 (and 2012?).

I have started a wiki document to track the similarities and differences
between the requirements we are currently working on
(http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Media_APIs/Requirements) and the
requirements published at the end of 2011
(http://www.w3.org/TR/hnreq/#prevent-leaking-of-information)

The document is here, and obviously work in progress:
http://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Media_APIs/HNReq_Comparison



I am still in the process of analysing the similarities between our TF's
current list of requirements and the ones published 2 years ago, but the
similarities are striking.

I would like the TF to discuss and decide the most effective way forward:

1. Continue with our current list of use cases and requirements, making
sure we take into account the work already done by the HNTF.

2. "take over" the HNReq note. This would probably imply changing its name
(our current scope is often wider the home network) and merging use cases
and requirements into a single list on which we would subsequently iterate

Many thanks,
Olivier
