Are we? I think even then we are really talking about endpoints, but 
with our design center biased towards multiscreen/multicamera rooms.

E.g., when we are doing "site switching", a CLUE compatible cell phone 
is still going to be treated as a site, together with the telepresence 
"rooms" in the session.

I'm not aware of *anything* that is specific to multiscreen/multicamera 
endpoints.

Wouldn't that confuse the definition of site switching?
