For cases when one client is not a proper fax machine, is not the usual 
thing that is done that the facsimile is converted to/from TIFF, JPEG, 
PDF or similar somewhere between that client and the fax machine? (And 
often sent as a mail attachment)

If so, all tools are already available (e.g. File API if you want to 
store/access on the local file system, XHR or WebSockets - or even the 
rtcweb data channel for transport) to build a client that can handle 
fax. (I am probably missing something)
