I also think that we should look at RP the other way round too. Currently
it isn't possible to make not being physically present the same as being
physically present. Therefore we at least should be clear about what are
MUST HAVES and what may come later.

Also I think it is vital NOT TO conflate RP with access for people with
disabilities. They are both separate and important issues, and both of them
deserve individual attention.
