Application Foundations/MediaRTC
Relevant specs:

- Media Source Extensions
- Encryped Media Extensions
- Web Audio API
- Presentation API (2nd screen)
- Network Service Discovery
- MediaStream Generation from HTML content

Goals
- document which use cases fall under this foundation
- define a prioritization framework for these various use cases
- evaluate how much of these use cases are currently achievable with existing techs
- for use cases that are not achievable (or in unsatisfactory ways), determine which technologies are needed
- among those that are needed and in progress, determine how to accelerate their development
- among those that are needed and not in progress, determine how to get them started
- compare Web capabilities to native platforms
- ensure consistencies of separately-developed specs
