Hi,
I think that David first question is important and here is my view

My view is that we are trying to address the transport of media in HTTP both
pre-recorded and live. The major issues I see are

1. Address the issue of allowing both push and pull models (addressing the
use cases and concerns from Qin draft) 
2. Address the startup issue, we have worked in AVT on fast channel/content
change and I think this is relevant also in this case.
3. Look at the scaling problem when there is no multicast or broadcast
support.

In general I think that by having a use cases document that covers the
scenarios that look important to the group we can achieve a better
understanding of what is the charter of the work.
