Correct my if I'm wrong, but the API already leaves what goes over the wire
completely up to the JS app.  So we couldn't re-open a debate of "SDP or
not SDP" for the wire format, because there's nothing to debate.  We
already decided it would be left to the JS to decide.  The only thing left
to debate is the API.

Or am I wrong?
