I think at the very least on-demand Netflix/Youtube/etc. streaming is a 
very important internet use case that we want to satisfy. Interactive is 
called out explicitly by the charter because it imposes a set of severe 
technical constraints on what the codec can do, but I don't think the 
intent was to limit us to that use case (as indicated by the words "but 
not necessarily limited to" in the charter).
