It looks to me like the 2nd paragraph of Appendix A is the right place 
for this:

    A WebRTC application creates a data channel by providing a number of
    setup parameters (subprotocol, label, maximal number of
    retransmissions, maximal retransmission time, order of delivery,
    priority).  The application also specifies if it wants to make use of
    the negotiation using the DCEP [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol], or if
    the application intends to negotiate data channels using the SDP
    offer/answer protocol.

I'm inclined to tweak the above as follows:

    ...
    the application intends to negotiate data channels using the SDP
    offer/answer protocol, or both.

And then, the note at the end of the section can be augmented:

    Note: The above SDP media description does not contain any channel-
    specific information. If data channels are to be negotiated using
    SDP, then the above will be supplemented as specified in Sections
    6.3 and 6.4.

But I'm not sure about "The application also specifies...". Is this 
referring to something specific in the webrtc API? If so, does it permit 
both? The presence of dcmap in the SDP will indicate the intent to use 
SDP negotiation, but must this first be enabled in the API?

	Thanks,
	Paul
