I don't think that's as apple pie as it would seem.  For instance,
when I'm using a web browser in a meeting, I have a strong interest
that it only use *one* of the modalities available, and I get fairly
annoyed when it makes use of others.

Also, covering voice-only interactions sounds like it very quickly
goes to an area in which I don't think we've got the necessary
expertise in this group.

So I'm a bit wary of making too strong statements here.  At the same
time, I agree that we should in no way limit ourselves to just one
modality.

I wonder, though, if this is best dealt with in section 2 or in
section 4.  We could say in section 4 that we consider all
modalities through which a web user agent interacts with users in
scope, and be done?

Bruno, what do you think?
