JR: I think video is implied in "multimedia presentation" but I don't mind 
making it more explicit.

JR: I'd like to keep it this way to avoid muddying the water between the two 
terms.

JR: Agreed.

JR: Agreed for now. We can add a note that we would like to match the def'n 
that WCAG decides upon.

WCAG Techniques Documents:
A WCAG techniques documents is an informational document that lists the precise 
ways in which the requirements of WCAG might be interpretted for a particular 
format. The document follows the WCAG requirement numbering scheme for ease of 
reference
