That has been done previously in self-contained.
If items in 3 cover all our needs, why not?
a/v should focus on only the unique requirements beyond those already in
3--or providing changes that are critical for media playback for 3.

Greg,
Are you suggesting that all we would need to do is point to those
provisions and indicate that software used for playing multimedia must
comply with those regs?
