The "overview" draft has the following definition:

    Real-time media:  Media where generation of content and display of
       content are intended to occur closely together in time (on the
       order of no more than hundreds of milliseconds).

The omission of a definition for "real-time" without "media" is not an 
accident; I don't think a consensus definition exists, and I don't think 
we need that term in our work.
