[BA]  The basic gist is "don't dual MTI him, don't dual MTI me, dual MTI the fellow behind the tree".  No mobile application or device maker will pay attention to the dual MTI requirement, nor should they - it adds overhead and potential liability/fees with little benefit.  For codec implementers, the timing couldn't be worse - with next generation codecs now appearing in products (e.g. H.265 and VP9), making an argument for diverting resources away into work on previous generation codecs is difficult at best.

There is a difference between suggesting a compromise that many people dislike but can live with versus one that is only palatable if it applies to someone else.
