According to many, real adoption of WebRTC will not happen if we 
continue to force everyone to use this SDP Offer/Answer methodology.  It 
is clearly blocking our way forward and the amount of specification 
documentation remaining needed for the browser vendors to produce a 
compatible SDP based WebRTC engine in a browser is much more daunting 
than most are willing to admit.


The draft rationale behind a JavaScript Object API model:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-raymond-rtcweb-webrtc-js-obj-api-rationale-00.txt

Whereas:

The WebRTC JavaScript Object API & Shim document will be along shortly.


We wanted to get this initial rationale draft informational document out 
right away. Everyone that has any interest should review the reasons and 
concepts and comment before we get too far along on the details of an 
actual API, the initial API will follow in the coming days.


Best regards,
