Techniques are described providing mediated information about a current
state that is modeled with multiple state attributes. In some situations,
the providing includes receiving from a first source an indication of a
first value for an indicated one of the state attributes of the modeled
current state, receiving from a second source an indication of a second
value for the indicated state attribute, and, after an indication from a
client for a value for the indicated state attribute, sending to the
client a mediated value for the indicated state attribute that is
produced by mediating between available values for the indicated state
attribute including at least the first and second values.
