Re: [AVTCORE] Erratum 4097 on RFC 2435

Hi,

I don't see any change to the actual text. The note part appears to be
suggestion for a non-backwards compatible change. As said before,
technical modifications to specifications are not done using the Errata
system. Instead one will have to write a new specification (Internet
Draft) that is taken through the WG and IESG approval.

As this is non-backwards compatible change, I think the most likely
outcome would be to use a new RTP payload identifier for this new format.

Please note that the correct WG for RTP Payload specification work is
the PAYLOAD WG.

My suggestion is that this errata is rejected.

Cheers

Magnus
