Things to consider: 1) Many people who agreed with SDP have since changed their mind 2) If we opt to go with SDP in version #1 knowing that edge cases are causing major pains, those not doing SIP are having great pains, whose to say we will be able to fix it in version 2? At that point deployed systems will actually rely upon it and it will be even harder to affect change and then people will have two methods to do the same thing and have to support both because some browsers will be stuck on version 1 for a long time to come. 3) SDP has become a serialized surface API for object control/properties and the only way to extend this in the future is via SDP extensions; that's a huge part of the issue and objection. That's also probably why so many are focused on extending SDP because they know it doesn't do anything beyond a simple demo at this point and is not ready for prime time deployments and many real-world use cases. 4) There is very few people saying SDP is "good" or "right". The arguments seem to fall into "we've made that choice", "it's too late", "we'll fix it later", "we must get something out now" 5) The cost of fixing it now could be much less than everyone working around this later That's why I'd like to head up with a proposal with a JS shim for supporting SDP. We can get both worlds and put this debate truly to rest and (hopefully) even bring Microsoft onboard. I've written a media engine/RTC so I've got a good handle on what's involved and I've seen the webrtc C++ engine too. So I've got an idea as to what's going on under the hood and I have real world experience having written a SIP softphone client from scratch. Presently I'm trying to mangle Open Peer to utilize this SDP thing. Keep in mind, even I was okay at first with using SDP thinking I'd just parse/generate it until I thought about all its long term consequences as a surface API and then becomes strongly opposed to using it. Making a simple surface API that isn't reliant on SDP and creating a JS SDP shim is entirely possible/feasible and will allow for a flexible future where we don't have tons of competing extensions to SDP with no idea what each browser actually/officially supports. -Robin > Hutton, Andrew <mailto:andrew.hutton@siemens-enterprise.com> > 20 June, 2013 1:00 PM > > No it is not the only argument it is just stating the fact that we had > the debate previously in which the arguments were made and the balance > was in favor of SDP.
