In order to keep the initial draft more concise, I've written it as if
the only thing that goes over the QRT session is just RTP, so I can
avoid having to specify managing different applications contending for
the same space.

However, I fully realise that in the future the draft will absolutely
have to support co-located application packet flows. I can forsee this
causing issues with things like SDP which advertise the flow identifiers
up front, but that's why I made it an optional component of the draft.

I'm keeping an eye on the development of such ideas in the DATAGRAM and
H3 DATAGRAM spaces to see what the consensus ends up being, and then I
can adopt that.
