RE: ISSUE-29: Define user agent in wsc-usecases

Hi Luis,

Since the definition is a reference, I'd prefer to not come up with our 
own change, but use one that's been agreed to already. 

I do see your point about how strange that line is. Does anyone know if 
the WAI folks noticed this problem, and have a better definition 
somewhere?

graphical browsers, text browsers, voice browsers, mobile phone
browsers, multimedia player browsers, plug-ins, and some software
assistive technologies used ..... "
