Agreed.

I don't think a "WebRTC compliant" logo would be relevant for 
applications (the end-user couldn't care less) but for 
toolkits/frameworks/libraries this is suddenly relevant. Developers will 
look for such things when researching libraries. The same applies for 
browsers. So yes, this approach might sound weird at first but the more 
I think about it the more I think these groups would benefit from 
different expectations.
