I would be very happy to lose PRANSWER if the SIP guys tell us they can 
successfully gateway to systems using provisional SIP answers (which I 
think is the same thing as the one called "serial forking") without them.

For the Web use case, I think PRANSWER is an unnecessary distraction; if 
we're writing both initiator and responder, multiple O/A rounds, or use 
of multiple PeerConnections, is a much cleaner solution for the use 
cases I can wrap my head around.
