You've already agreed that there was not accessibility concern with IM, which 
is an interactive, real-time conversation mode (just with different atom of 
text).  So can we please stop with the 'call-block on all incoming deaf 
callers' bit?

That is, the spec should generally have requirements for what the spec is, an 
extension to XMPP IM, as opposed to being a part of a 'total conversation' 
system that includes A/V, RTT, and possibly other extensions.  Then only in a 
section about interaction with other extensions should it be noted that for 
accessibility reasons, when offering one Real-Time Conversation mode it 
appropriate to offer other Real-Time conversation modes.
