I've only skimmed the draft, but I don't see the problem.  I know there's an issue with multiplexing all the RTP on one 5-tuple, but that's actually an orthogonal issue.  I was talking about whether an SDP offer with multiple m-lines using the same port number would have issues or not.  Am I missing something in the draft?

Please don't misrepresent what I said - I think if you read my paragraph, it's pretty clear I am not claiming 99% of them work with the same port; nor am I suggesting we go back to using the same port again.  It was in the context of the debates we had back when the issue was debated a couple IETF meetings ago, and I said as far as I knew they can handle an *SDP offer* with it... and I then *immediately* said I didn't argue it for long, because someone else stated they knew of a device which had a problem, and that concerned me.  Since most people generally try not to contradict themselves in the span of a dozen words, I think it's reasonable to assume I no longer believe all devices work.  I mean I may not be smart, but I'm not a complete idiot. (well... not generally an idiot anyway)
