This is correct. In the first instance, we asked for an element that 
would cater for the representation of the music notation only, since 
that is the domain that interests us. Perhaps because of the multi-modal 
nature of music, the conversation swiftly moved to include other media, 
possibly overweighting the original proposal.

We also included graphic because relying on a graphical rendition of the 
notation is a standard fall-back for notational code that can't be 
rendered.

Best,
Raffaele
