[BA] The problem is that my opinion will differ depending on whether the SDP in question is to be used in the API or over the wire. 

The "different port" formulation makes good sense to me if you are looking for backward compatibility with existing SIP/SDP implementations which are likely to send an error in response to a "same port" formulation.   So if this is an "on the wire" question I give it a thumbs up. 

However, if you are asking me whether it makes sense for createOffer() to output SDP with different ports by default, when 99 percent of applications are likely to not be doing SIP interop, I would say "no".   Then the next question is whether there needs to be a mechanism in the API for indicating a preference for different ports, when this is desired.
