When we broke our proposal down into a bunch of different deltas, we got 
strong feedback at the W3C meeting in Lyon that nobody wanted to touch 
SDP as the API or Offer/Answer as something that is baked in to the browser.

We've done a whole lot of work on our proposal *and* have running code 
that demonstrates it. We're not going to waste any more time writing 
additional proposals that will also be rejected by the folks who really 
love SDP + O/A.

If someone else wants to take our work as a reference or starting point, 
great. If everyone wants to wait until the current API gets to W3C to 
see what formal objections we file, that's fine too.
