[BA] The isolation request could be carried in an RTP header extension until, for example, a RR was obtained by the sender confirming it was received.  However, RTP extensions are optional and the sender wouldn't have confirmation from the receiver via the media plane that the isolation request was honored. So the TLS approach provides better semantics.
