This issue did come up in another thread, and the answer is yes.  It should
probably be documented in the core data channel specs and just referenced
here.

Since there is no disagreement over how it should work, we can clarify as
necessary in a subsequent draft.

There are many examples of attributes that use different negotiation models
than this.  The only requirement is that the semantics of the negotiation
be defined in the document defining the attribute.
