Second the motion.

Here's a tersified list:

1. Device Independent (don't need screen/mouse/sound/+)
2. User-controlled (full choice interaction)
3. Comprehensibility (clarity/simplicity/discoverability)
4. Compatability/Interoperability (standards compliant)

Once the decision is reached about whether it's important to, e.g. hold 
that #4 can't be swallowed whole by #1 then we can get it on. I believe the 
distinction between those two is arbitrary and that's why we have Jason as 
"arbiter".

I entrust my proxy to him.
