Hey Christer,

Apologies for the lag.

This should probably be clarified. The above referred mostly to a 
browser's expectations and default offers. Multiple m= lines can confuse 
a number of existing legacy endpoints which is why they should be 
avoided when initiating a session that could reach a similar device (and 
by default this should be assumed for any session).

If applications *know* that they need to have multiple m= lines of a 
given type they can request this the same way they could do it with Plan B:

    If the application wishes, it can request that a given
    media source be placed onto a separate m= line, by setting a new
    .content property on the desired MediaStreamTrack; the values for the
    .content property are those defined for the a=content attribute in
    [RFC4796].

I'll make sure this is part of the next version.

Does this make sense?

In my opinion (the draft also talks about it), the usage of multiple simultaneous SSRCs per m- line is a much bigger issue when it comes to legacy interoperability.
