Hello, To get this list started: I think the Multimodal Interaction web pages should contain a definition of 'multimodal' that clearly distinguishes this term from 'multimedia'. In a multimedia presentation you use components in different media (text, graphics, voice, video) that complement each other. In multimodal interaction each modality (spoken prompts and audio; text and graphics) may reinforce the others but the MMI web pages don't state explicitly that each modality should singly present the whole intellectual content. This distinction is important in the context of accessibility.
