Regard the comment as an editorial nit that does not really have to be
addressed. My problem is that I do not know "Media Resource Broker" in
the way I know "video conferencing system", "photo editor", or "real-
time chat application". Something about the problem it solves (random
example, "Informs SIP applications of available communication options")
or the enviroment it is used in (random example, "real-time telephony
applications") would be nice, but if there is any trouble coming up with
text for that, don't bother trying as far as I am concerned.
