Hi,

But even if this document said MUST forward, there is nothing in the protocol semantics that would require implementations to do that, so I imagine that splicers that do not want to forward this information (whether to prevent detection or to reduce overhead) won’t forward it. Similarly, I would imagine that at least some of the payload-specific mechanisms used for this purpose have the same property, so even if systems rely on those mechanisms rather than RTP because the RTP spec says MUST forward, there is no guarantee that the splicing information will reach the receiver.

I still support Alia’s discuss here, because even if we can’t change what people/splicers do, we should not write should an ill-advise in an RFC!
