This version of the draft is a major update, that makes the following changes:

- Update the media timeout circuit breaker to address the over- and under-sampling issues raised by Magnus Westerlund, by taking into account the RTT and RTP framing interval in the calculation, as well as the RTCP reporting interval.

- Update the congestion circuit breaker to address the over- and under-sampling issues raised by Magnus Westerlund, and to account for codecs that cannot change their rate on each frame, by modifying the definition of CB_INTERVAL to include the RTP framing interval, the frame group size, and the RTT in the calculation, as well as the RTCP reporting interval.

- Collect definitions and clarify terminology.

- Clarify behaviour when interworking with systems that don’t implement RTCP, based on feedback by Simon Perreault.

- Remove discussion on Impact of RTCP Reporting Groups, that seemed to confuse rather than clarify.

- Various editorial fixes to address other review comments by Simon Perreault, and make assorted other corrections. 

Feedback welcome.
