Re: [dispatch] New I-D - SPIN - on voice/video interop between app providers

Dale you've hit the nail on the head of "what's different". If it weren't
for DMA this would not be worth trying. Of course, even with DMA, it may
not succeed.

But - the argument that I am hoping we can use to convince those that need
to implement this - primarily that major platform providers (Google, Apple)
- is that this is better than the alternatives (the alternatives range from
do nothing, to some proprietary APIs they expose). This approach is better
because it is better for users and tries to deliver what is (i believe)
truly the goal of the DMA - to provide seamless interoperability.

Thx,
