test conditions provided

[Adam Li]

Dear experts and Mr. Gero,

It seems that the conditions described in the document can hardly be
called "reasonable and fair conditions".

For example, for Media codecs, it specifies H.263 with Annex O. As we
all know, Annex O (with spatial, temporal and SNR scalability) is NOT
in the Wireless Profiles of H.263. Indeed, it is not in ANY of the
profiles defined in H.263.

The whole Annex O is such a very complex algorithm, that it is NOT
even in the most complex profiles where complexity is not that much a
concern. It is really unimaginable that any mobile applications will
use Annex O.

If the Siemens proposal needed such a un-realistic scenario to provide
any possible gain, the wireless connection oriented Annex I seems is
not the right place for it.

Since Mr. Gero have just proposed the condition now, he may have
enough resource to test it before the document submission date. Maybe
you can test it also without Annex O, Mr. Gero?

Sincerely,

Adam Li
