Subject: [clue] taxonomy synchronization context and CLUE

Several months ago I posted this to avtext about the taxonomy draft, but didn't get a response.  If the CLUE group agrees with this, I'll suggest it again on the avtext list:

Section 3.1.1.3 CLUE Scenes says this:
"In CLUE "Capture Scene", "Capture Scene Entry" and "Captures" define an implied Synchronization Context."

This isn't generally true. I don't think CLUE is attempting to define any new way to associate streams for synchronization. Sometimes the media captures in a CLUE scene should be synchronized, but the synchronization would be based on something else like CNAME, not because they are in the same CLUE scene. Sometimes the captures in a CLUE scene do not need to be synchronized, for example when their source streams originated from different endpoints and then were combined into the same scene by a media switching mixer.

So I don't think there is any value in mentioning this in the taxonomy draft. I suggest we just delete section 3.1.1.3.
