I understand that part but what I am saying is that developing a codec that 
will both perform enough well for interactive video and streaming video is a 
tedious task. Focusing on two different things will increase the risk of 
failure for this wg. Maybe the wg should consider solving the first (and the 
more important) problem first and then see whether it can tackle the second 
problem.
