The "Media commands and media playback state" section described the interaction between the HTMLMediaElement interface and the remotely played media without being very explicit as to what user agents were to be doing. I updated the section to use "the user agent MUST" sentences and e.g. to reference the "stop remote playback" algorithm.

Some of your questions are asked in issue #25. I agree we need to expand about how each item of the HTMLMediaElement interface works when in the "connected" state allowing enough flexibility for various ways of implementing remote playback (flinging vs remoting vs mirroring) I really hope for @foolip's help here :) |

The "Media commands and media playback state" section describe the interaction between the HTMLMediaElement interface and the remotely played media without being very explicit as to what user agents are to be doing.
I updated the section to use "the user agent MUST" sentences.
More discussion might be needed to complete this section. For instance, I assume that the remote media will start in the same state as the local one (e.g. playing at 5.4s), but I don't see that very clearly in the spec right now.
Also, do we expect all media commands to be supported by the remote playback device? (setting "playbackRate" for instance). If not, what is to happen when the application issues such commands?
