Tolga/Radhika,

In case I read Ranjit mail correctly, the "simpler" protocol than "SIP over websocket" is required which does not require to perform signaling routing functionality like via header, route header handling as two-way communication between browser to RTCWeb server is established using websocket. But, It does not mean that media negotiation ("offer/answer") is not required. I have mentioned this media negotiation requirement for signaling in Bullet 2 of Sec 5 in draft-partha-rtcweb-signaling-00 draft as 

    " The mechanism has to provide the way to pass description about the
      media transmission between two RTCweb clients"

Also, the attempt for "standard" signaling protocol is not an attempt to stop custom-build signaling protocol and Sec 4 of draft-partha-rtcweb-signaling-00 draft explains this as

"The defining signaling protocol is not a hindrance for any innovative
   RTCWeb signaling protocol development as it is complementary
   solution."

but standard signaling protocol facilities for the quick development of the generic RTCWeb usecase without the need of developing of new signaling protocol per website. In case you still feel that my draft does not reflect this notion, Please let me know.

Thanks
Partha
