The rtcweb overview draft ( draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview-19.txt ) has just been approved as a Proposed Standard, but it doesn’t mention RMCAT at all. Will people find our documents? Are we going to be ignored by design?

It’s an intentional choice, since the WebRTC work is significantly ahead of the RMCAT drafts in the process. Section 7 of draft-ietf-rtcweb-rtp-usage-26 discusses a little, and is normative  for WebRTC implementations.

Some thoughts in draft-rtpfolks-quic-rtp-over-quic-01 and draft-aboba-avtcore-quic-multiplexing-01 (the latter is being discussed this week).
