Hi Andrew, please don't take me wrong but:

So the only arguments pro-SDP are "it was debated many times" (it
seems it does not matter than many people that agreed then have
changed their mind after getting experience), "let do something simple
for now based on SDP, something that allows a simple PSTN call" (so
SDP will be here forever and any future WebRTC app will have to deal
with SDP nightmares and will be subject to its O/A model, forever and
ever).
