XEP-0167 defines a XML based SDP. Mapping it from/to plain SDP
requires, at least, having all the attributes of the SDP. Instead you
are proposing that the JS receives an opaque SDP blob from the
browser, so it must be parsed via JS if the app wants to convert it
into XML SDP.

It's really ugly and the worst specification for the Web.
