Is model a "media element"?

[marcoscaceres]

The <model> element shares a lot of similarities with the <audio> and <video> elements, yet it's distinct in some ways (we need to tease these out). It's similar in being potentially temporal multimedia content (i.e., it has audio, it potentially animates over time). We need to figure out if model sufficiently different to warrant being its own element class, or if it can reuse much of "media element"'s infrastructure.

It sounded like the media folks think isn't, but there might be work that they can do to let us re-use some of their description of media-like for our purposes. @marcoscaceres how do we encourage them to do that for us / how can we help them?
