Hi Aaron,

Javascript SIP stacks (Ex: phono.com) exists already and RTCWeb1.0 is
not a gating factor for those development. My worry is that RTCWeb1.0 is
standardized and then identify the gap in signaling which is not a good
protocol design. It is better to discuss with signaling rather than just
solving media protocol requirement alone. In case any implementation
deployed, the backward compatibility has to be provided till the end of
the product and RTCWeb1.0 is a not an exception.

For the time factor concern, let us work for the quick closer and I have
no disagreement there. But I have problem in case it is mentioned as the
issues will not be solved to meet the WG deadline.

Thanks
Partha
