I think that this is the part that is getting confused.  This is not a
complaint against plan A or B.  I suspect that this is instead a
(wholly valid) concern with the the idea of using a=imageattr for
*setting* resolutions, which limits the ability of a sender to react
to congestion signals.  I agree with Cullen that this is separable
from A/B discussions.
