VERY LOW INTEREST: the view of confidence in EMMA is incomplete and restrictive

Description:
Somerset f2f http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-mmi-wg/2010Apr/0034.html, Michael's issue 7.For example, some engines create multiple confidences for each input (e.g. SAPI). Three issues: need multiple confidences, (and then what does the sort order mean?) need a way to express differences, and does the scale need to be 0.0-1.0?

Related notes:

(from June 2011 f2f) We would like to find a way to allow sophisticated IM's to take multiple confidences into account as well as for simpler IM's to use a simpler idea of confidence. It seems clear that we can't enumerate all the possible types of confidences, because they might be proprietary or they might only apply to certain modalities, so we need some kind of extensibility mechanism. With multiple confidences, what's the order? The most likely result might not be the most confident result.

Discussed during EMMA call June 14. These other concepts (e.g. some kind of "score" or "rank") are so engine-specific that it's hard to see how to standardize. Is there something in between an fully-standardized tag and "throw everything in "info"? Could have a vendor-specific info with your specific confidence information. Probably won't work on this.

discussed during June 28 call, Michael will add clarification text, but we won't add anything normative.
