"The marginal benefit remains...tiny relative to the cost"

[BA] This is particularly true if you consider *all* of the additional work
items required to enable the usage scenario.  It is one thing to support
SRTP/SRTCP over RFC 4571 framing, but without also  encapsulating DTLS/SRTP
over RFC 4571 framing, how do you reliably obtain the SRTP/SRTCP master
keys?  Similarly, do we also run SCTP/DTLS data channel over RFC 4571
framing?   In my experience, without a great deal of care, running one
reliable transport over another can works poorly if packet loss is
encountered (e.g. the time-out periods interfere with one another).
