If i understood you correctly, SFrame is kind of agnostic to the media 
streams. Currently it has a single global frame counter for all the 
transport, so the number of streams/dependency between them is not 
known/needed by SFrame.

Note that SFRAME is not the only encryption possible with w3c insertable 
streams, it is up to the application to define its own crypto if they 
want. So the payload must be able to transport non-SFRAME opaque blobs.

I don't think so, RTX and FEC frames MUST not be modified/affected by 
SFRAME/the new packetization format, so they work out of the box. We can 
be explicit about that in the chapter as a requirement.
