Thanks for adding updates to the terminology, which now captures most
of it.
I have a comment on the above text in 2.2.

This seem to focus more on WebRTC **browser**. But, there are hybrid
environments, such as Apache Cordova, which are not browsers but can
conform to protocol specification and Javascript API just like a=20
browser (as most of the times they share same source code as a browser). An=
droid KitKat provided WebView component, that supports WebRTC APIs+Javascri=
pt, is one example which is close to native than hybrid environment. To inc=
lude these use cases, I suggest changing the above text to:

"A WebRTC User Agent or WebRTC UA is something that conforms to both the pr=
otocol specification and the Javascript API defined above. WebRTC browser i=
s one such WebRTC UA. However, other non-browser implementations may confor=
m to WebRTC UA as well."
