Hi Jonathan,

I revisited this section of the draft, and on closer inspection, I noticed it currently reads as follows:

   The 'floorid' attribute is used in the SDP media description for BFCP
   media.  It defines a floor identifier and, possibly, associates it
   with one or more media streams. 

I interpret this to already account for the possibility of a floorid that is not yet associated with an existing media stream. Do you think we need to be more explicit? How about we extend the next paragraph as follows:

   Endpoints that use the offer/answer model to establish BFCP
   connections MUST support the 'floorid' and the 'label' attributes.  A
   floor control server acting as an offerer or as an answerer SHOULD
   include these attributes in its session descriptions.

Is extended as follows:

   Endpoints that use the offer/answer model to establish BFCP
   connections MUST support the 'floorid' and the 'label' attributes.  A
   floor control server acting as an offerer or as an answerer SHOULD
   include these attributes in its session descriptions. In some scenarios,
   a "floorid" may be specified in an initial offer/answer exchange with 
   any associated media streams being identified in subsequent
   exchanges.

Cheers,
Charles
