It sounds like that is the default if the working group does *not*
pick a mandatory.  Many implementations will do both of those, some
will do only one or the other - and some of those may end up with
no codec in comment and will not interoperate.  The whole point of
this excercise is to try to avoid that situation.

It may be unavoidable, in which case it's what will likely happen.
