Yes.

Of course, I don't want a SIP native stack in the browser, never.

Not exactly. We generate the SIP messages in JS (without using a
RTCweb API at all). We just need a RTCweb API to create a SDP object
(maybe a JS object) so then I can generate the plain SDP using
JavaScript (and XMPP/Jingle folks would generate a XML SDP).
And we just need some way to tell the RTCweb stack from JS: "hey, I've
received this SDP and I need you to tell me what do you think about
it, parse it please, or ask me to previously convert it into a
specific JS object and then I pass it to you".

Right. But this could occur regardless the signaling protocol chosen
by each web application. At the end, Alice will receive (via
HTTP/WebSocket) something like a SDP from Bob, and Alice must deal
with that with the help of a JS RTCweb API.

Sure :)

No, it's exactly that.

You are right. It's just a signaling proposal (not to make a standard
signaling, not at all, but just a signaling example, in this case pure
SIP).

Yes, agreed.


Regards.


PS: SIP over WebSocket just works fine. A demonstration next week.
