Re: [rtcweb] Microsoft tells W3C and IETF what we are doing no signs of offering real world interoperability

As I recall, we recently discussed the idea of an API abstraction on top
of the SDP and rejected it.  I think that the reasoning was that it was
an unnecessary complication.

I doubt you'll ever see a use case that *requires* SessionDescription
objects, since the identical behavior can be achieved (in most cases) by
handling SDP directly. As has been previously discussed, though, using
objects would make life easier for JS developers, and might lead to more
natural solutions to problems that have been recently posted on this
list (like inspection of offers to determine which parts should be
accepted and which should not).
