I agree that alternatives 10. and 11. are better to be written in the same format:

10. MUST implement at least two of {VP8, H.264 CBP, H.261}
11. MUST implement at least two of {VP8, H.264, H.263}

I assume H.264 CBP = Constrained Baseline Profile as proposed in draft-burman-rtcweb-h264-proposal.

For H.263 we would need to define if it means H.263 Baseline or something beyond that. I have seen at least Stephan Wenger arguing that H.263 Baseline is not suitable for WebRTC.
