We could include an example instead.

This works for the T140 data channel, but another subprotocol may be 
able to carry more than one media type and therefore have some other 
indication of what media type is used. An example is the msrp data 
channel that can carry messages with different modalities.

So, yes, it is tempting to say that we extend RFC 8373 in general, but 
we can do in in a fully specified way only for the T140 data channel.

How would you express that?

The draft is in the RFC EQ, and I don't think we want to bring it back to the WG, but maybe the t140 draft updates draft-data-channel-sdpneg too)

Right, this discussion prepared us for real discussions on IANA 
registration.
