Hello Juergen and Paul,

You're updates look OK to me. I think this is ready for WGLC.

Please see below.

Do we really need to extend the scope to SCTP or SCTP/DTLS? The 
mechanism is clearly related to the use of WebRTC data channel. Is SCTP 
and SCTP/DTLS going to be used for data channel in the future? There is 
"something" preventing data channels being used on SCTP or SCTP/DTLS its 
draft-ietf-rtcweb-data-channel which clearly shows the stack as 
UDP/DTLS/SCTP and TCP/DTLS/SCTP.
