we wanted to keep the same document structure as RFC5770 because the 
developers were already familiar with it (and has two interoperable 
implementations). While we tried to duplicate some RFC5770 material to 
make the specification a bit more standalone, the document is still 
aimed for people who developed RFC5770.

As you noted, the document is missing the exact section references 
because the ICE spec has been a moving target but I guess the references 
would safe to be fixed now.

Thanks Eric for the insightful technical comments. I'll try to get you 
answers as soon as possible.
