There is a third condition for the term "single origin": an RTC application
calling a server which provided the JavaScript with RTC application. For
instance if you have an application from a phone service provider or
conferencing app. This application will never setup a P2P call between two
browsers, it is always between provider and the browser, so it can ask for
relaxed security since it only calls its own IP.
