We have just submitted a draft for discussion in the rtcweb working group:

    <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thomson-rtcweb-api-reqs-00>

This draft describes the information that must pass between browser
and application in order to establish real-time communications.  This
is not user-facing requirements (-rtcweb-use-cases-and-requirements)
or an outright API specification (-jsep).

The goal here is to enable the creation and consumption of streams of
media packets within the security constraints.  The draft describes
the minimum necessary set of information only to achieve this end.

In related news, Microsoft just joined the W3C Web Real-Time
Communications Working Group.  Once a few clerical issues are
addressed, new W3C proposals that address these requirements will
follow.
