If a media plugin provides collaboration between participating viewers 
and doesn't update the sim, or only updates the sim with a view-only 
version of what people are working on, does this violate the "shared 
experience" clause?

What about musicians sharing sound data between themselves via client 
plugins and doing mixing before uploading the sound to the sim?

And what about the VWRAP proposal to let clients establish connections 
for external services via capabilities? Such a capability could easily 
violate the new policy. Lots of vague stuff in this policy.
