#8: Section 4.3.1: PFS

 It is this consideration that makes an
    automatic, public key-based key exchange mechanism imperative for
    RTC-Web (this is a good idea for any communications security system)
    and this mechanism SHOULD provide perfect forward secrecy (PFS).

 [BA] Do we mean "SHOULD support" PFS or "SHOULD use"?  I don't believe
 that DTLS/SRTP-EKT provides PFS.  Also, is there any implication that the
 user should be able to somehow influence whether PFS is required or not?
