This is an individual comment.  I reviewed 
draft-petithuguenin-behave-turn-uris-05.  I wondered why a URI was 
needed given the limited use.  The same argument is applicable for 
draft-nandakumar-rtcweb-stun-uri-05.  There is running code for both 
drafts.  Both draft qualify for "DNP".  I would describe the 
proposals as trying to fit the solution within a URI instead of 
designing a URI scheme.  Both proposals sound like UNSAF.
