I am changing the rtp-grouping-taxonomy to a normative reference. See 
discussion with Ben. This of course will result in the need for a new 
IETF last call for the downref. But, that is probably good, as also the 
WG needs time to digest the many small changes.

However, my personal view is that IETF need to be able to reference 
concept and basic definitions from informational documents without 
making it normative references. Otherwise we will have a lot of things 
in the downref registry and not be able to find when we end up in actual 
real issues with protocol mechanisms and their source and maturity. That 
is why I intended to leave draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview as an 
informational reference.

Cheers
