Hi Paul. Standarizing the "app layer" in WWW does not work, nobody
wants it. What about if somebody (a website) wants to send custom
emoticons within the realtime text? should the WG define a "text
document format" for RTT? Each website does it in the custom way it
likes.

Tons of webs offer chat since years, why do we need a standard for it
now? A user in website-A will never chat with a user in website-B
anyway.

The Web has succeeded because each website has the capability of
reinventing the application by adding its own innovation and features.
Otherwise there would not be so many different social networks or
travel websites offereing "the same".

JS can not retrieve the audio/video bits received from the peer and
convert them into audio/video to be sent to the local multimedia
devices. That's why the WG defines a media format (I mean RTP +
security) and an API for providing such a multimedia flow to the JS
app.

The same is not true for text chat which can be achieved in tons of
ways in the WWW, without the need of a standard.
