Here are my suggestions:

	* Change "AC3" to "AC-3," which is the way that Dolby Laboratories Inc.
punctuates its technology.
	* Change the first instance of "realtime" to "real-time," and change
the second instance to "real time."
	* Enclose the URI at the bottom in <> angle brackets as discussed in
RFC 2396, Appendix E.
