Hi all =E2=80=94 I=E2=80=99ve read over the latest V3C codec draft, as I =
promised at the interim.

My biggest question about the draft is a design question, about how =
backward compatibility in offer/answer should be supported.

As the draft is currently written, when a V3C-capable offerer sends an =
offer to a V3C-ignorant answerer, the answerer will ignore the V3C atlas =
codec and V3C-related parameters, but it can (and likely will) negotiate =
the video streams as 2D streams without any volumetric component, thus =
establishing a call with 2D video.

Is this what you want?  Or would you rather define the payload such that =
a V3C-ignorant answerer will completely ignore the volumetric m-lines, =
and negotiate something with a cleaner fallback (e.g. audio-only, =
rejecting the call entirely, etc.)

If the latter is what you want, the codec=E2=80=99s signaling will need =
changes.
