Re: [rtcweb] Is rtcweb the right place for draft-ietf-rtcweb-mdns-ice-candidates?

Probably not the ideal forum to point this out, but I hope the Chrome team is aware that rolling out this feature, assuming it includes using mDNS in the connection line, will break interop with Firefox.
So I have to concur that rolling this out appears to be premature to me.

When parsing this field, an agent can differentiate an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address by presence of a colon in its value - the presence of a colon indicates IPv6.  An agent generating local candidates MUST NOT use FQDN addresses.  An agent processing remote candidates MUST ignore candidate lines that include candidates with FQDN or IP address versions that are not supported or recognized.  The procedures for generation and handling of FQDN candidates, as well as, how agents indicate support for such procedures, need to be specified in an extension specification.

Also, there are significant interop implications for this draft between browser and non-browser end points which probably warrant larger discussion outside of rtcweb group. I would think mmusic would be a much better place for this draft. I know there is an incentive to complete this draft quickly but this has a potential to break a lot of things (it already did break interop with almost every existing ICE implementation).
