Another 2 cents from a SIP person.

I think attempting to incorporate SIP (or Jingle et al) into RTCWeb would be
a bad idea for the reason that it would significantly slow down and
complicate the standard. If SIP is included in RTCWeb then there will need
to be a discussion, already emerging here, about which parts of SIP to
include and all the other intricacies of SIP; transports, sips vs sip,
request routing etc etc. 

Writing a javascript SIP stack is a small task compared to getting the
RTCWeb media capabilities built into browsers. As soon as the first browser
appears that supports RTP then javascript SIP stacks will start popping up
all over the place.

I for one would love to be able to process calls in my browser and to be
able to do it yesterday. Slowing the RTCWeb process down for something that
will take care of itself anyway, namely readily available javascript
signalling libraries, would be a shame.
