To be clear about the word "purpose" here, since it's gotten me into 
trouble several times:

Sending two video streams from one sender (for instance a MUC) to one 
recipient (for instance an user) counts as one "purpose", right? Even 
though one may be a high-res document-sharing screencast and the other 
is a thumbnail-appropriate talking head?

While sending an audio stream and a video stream, even though they come 
from the same source and are intended to be presented together, counts 
as two different "purposes", right?
