Re: [rtcweb] Priorities - Was: Requesting "SDP or not SDP" debate to be re-opened .

Hi Andy,

Your proposed approach looks reasonable way to move forward.

In case SDP improvements like multiplexing, bundling is taken the priority for WebRTC 1.0 which results in discussing whether offer/answer is required or not for those enhancements, then it will lead to discuss whether SDP is required or not as well. 

Thanks
Partha
