Absolutely! Cascaded conferencing is the starting point, especially in terms of mixing, and I agree we'll need to at least say a few words about how it will be supposed to work. Things start to get complicated, though, when involving advanced stuff like distributed video mixing, for instance, and that's what we thought would be out of scope when writing the drafts.
