This specifically avoids that brittleness - the identifier in the
a=rgroup: is an identifier for the *group*, so if a media section is
part of two groups of the same type, then it's going to get two
different group identifiers.

m=whatever
a=mid:blah
a=rgroup:LS groupA
a=rgroup:LS groupB

Rather than identify one member of a group in order to identify the
group by proxy, it identifies the group directly.  The cost is that
you can't use 5888 any more.
