#25: Section 5.1 Conferencing Extensions

 These
    central servers can be implemented in a number of ways as discussed
    in Appendix A, and in the memo on RTP Topologies
    [I-D.westerlund-avtcore-rtp-topologies-update].

 [BA] Out-of-date reference; should be to draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-
 topologies-update.

    o  The use of video switching MCUs makes the use of RTCP for
       congestion control and quality of service reports problematic(see
       Section 3.7 of [I-D.westerlund-avtcore-rtp-topologies-update]).

 [BA] In the new document, this is now Section 3.6.2.

    o  RTP Transport Translators (Topo-Translator) are not of immediate
       interest to WebRTC, although the main difference compared topoint
       to point is the possibility of seeing multiple different
       transport paths in any RTCP feedback.

 [BA] "not of immediate interest" might be interpreted as not satisfying
 the requirement that "these topologies require no special RTP-layer
 support in the end-point if the RTP features mandated in this memo are
 implemented". If a browser can handle an undeclared SSRC then wouldn't an
 RTP translator also satisfy the requirement?  For example, Section 11
 states: "The API also needs to be capable of handling when new SSRCs are
 received but not previously signalled by signalling in some fashion."

    These
    extensions are not necessary for interoperability; an RTP endpoint
    that does not implement these extensions will work correctly, but
    might offer poor performance.

 [BA] I'd argue that not implementing the extensions will also affect
 aspects such as congestion control, which one might argue is necessary to
 "work correctly".
