I guess we need to clarify this. Grouping of media lines will require
that one understands the semantic that is used. But from an RTSP point
of view most semantics would be easy to incorporate as long as they
describe the relationship between media streams that you all most
receive. If any semantic would be more in the context of alternatives or
play only one at the time that creates also interaction with RTSP. I
think we can add text to clarify that it is required to understand the
semantics, and define what to do with the known semantics.
