[BA] If the concern is that we will make RTCWEB soooo secure that browser-based surveillance would be "too difficult" even for national governments with lots of resources, that is what I'd call a "high quality problem". Reading Eric's draft, I would not say that the available security solutions are soooo advanced at the moment that this is a practical concern. Even if we were to mandate a "heap o' crypto" (e.g. SRTP, DTLS/SRTP, PKI, etc.) the chances are excellent that it would not be deployed, would be contravened by disreputable CAs, or would not be understood well enough by users to avoid misfortunes on a regular basis. What *does* worry me is that surveillance in RTCWEB would be so easy that any script kiddie could do it, and that it could become an everyday occurrence.
