This is the very same argument again. IMHO it is time for you to assume
that this WG has decided by consensus that there will be no standard
in-the-wire protocol in WebRTC, nor a suggested proposal by this WG.

IMHO the only reason for having a "standard" WebrTC signaling protocol is
to make a business for gateway vendors building "standard WebRTC-to-SIP
gateways". I cannot imagine other reasons. That is not a legitime argument
in a IETF specification.

Anyhow I will not discuss again about this subject. There is consensus.
Time to move on. Please spend your time in helping with open subjects
rather than trying to reopen the discussion about the standard protocol.

Regards.
