Hello Paul, Christian,

Thank you for your feedback.

I was indeed much focused on the WebRTC data channel protocol stacks (SCTP over DTLS) when writing 
the mux category sections for dcmap and dcsa.
My reading of draft-ietf-rtcweb-data-channel-13 (e.g. sec 6.1) is that DTLS transport of SCTP must 
actually be used.
However, in order not to explicitly restrict potential future usage of the dcmap and dcsa attributes 
to x/DTLS/SCTP m-lines I'd propose to modify the text in section
5.1.1.2 as follows. (And correspondingly to also modify the dcsa related text in 5.1.2.2.)

Would you agree to following wording?

5.1.1.2.  dcmap Multiplexing Category
    Multiplexing characteristics of SDP attributes are described in
    [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes].  Various SDP attribute
    multiplexing categories are introduced there.

    The multiplexing category of the "a=dcmap:" attribute is SPECIAL.

    As the usage of multiple SCTP associations on top of a single DTLS
    connection is outside the scope of [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp], no
    "a=dcmap:" attribute multiplexing rules are specified for the UDP/DTLS/SCTP
    and TCP/DTLS/SCTP proto values.
    This document also does not specify multiplexing rules for this attribute
    for SCTP or SCTP/DTLS proto values.
    If future extensions of [I-D.ietf-mmusic-sctp-sdp] define how to negotiate
    multiplexing of multiple SCTP associations of top of a single DTLS connection
    or how to multiplex multiple SCTP associations within one BUNDLE group,
    then multiplexing rules for the "a=dcmap:" attribute need to be defined as
    well, for instance in an extension of this SDP based data channel
    negotiation specification.


Thanks,
Juergen
