Hello Juergen,

What I was thinking was that:
- If a subprotocol (datachannel) reuses media or session attributes a 
reference to the subprotocol RFC is added to the IANA registration for 
the attribute only I there was some specific behaviour change or 
consideration.
- If a subprotocol RFC defines a data channel specific attribute (i.e. 
cannot be used at the media or session level) then this would go into a 
new global IANA "data channel level" registry.
- The data channel level attribute could be reused by multiple data 
channels so it should be possible to include multiple references (my 
understanding of Flemming's point).

I guess this is your (A)(i) below?

If it is then I don't think its possible for a registry entry to be 
associated with zero document, i.e. there must always be a document 
reference.

Option B(i) seems to be a summary of what the RFC defining the 
sub-protocol would say. People can find out what attributes are used by 
reading the RFC itself rather than an IANA registry. So I'm not 
particularly in favour of that.

Option B(ii) seems to be the same as A(i) with the lookup key being the 
sub-protocol id rather than an attributeID. It seems the convention 
applied to SDP is lookup based on attribute rather than protocol. E.g. 
there are other protocols that use multiple media or session level 
attributes but they don't have their own registry.


Regards, Christian
