I agree that it's interesting to embed both Sophie in Croquet, and  
vice versa.  However, although I think that it's pretty clear what it  
would mean to embed Sophie in Croquet, I don't think that the reverse  
is obvious... what does it mean to incorporate real-time multi-person  
interaction into a multimedia document?

As simple example, the last time I looked I didn't notice any webcam  
support in Sophie.  I assumed that this omission might be  
intentional.  If someone emails me a Sophie document, and the webcam  
"at the other end" isn't enabled, do I simply see a blank screen?   
What if the webcam is on, but nobody is there (pretty boring)?  The  
issues with Croquet seem analogous.

I'm curious to hear any thoughts that the Sophie team have about what  
it would mean/require to support real-time interaction in Sophie.

Nice work folks!
