The WebRTC browser and the service/JS MUST implement SRTP, but the user needn't have to use it? > For this group: a, I think. I haven't seen it realistic to impose restrictions in RTCWEB on the Javascript that people write. The language and the APIs are subjects of standardization; the code written isn't. If someone claims to implement a protocol in Javascript, of course the restrictions apply - if they implement a protocol in Javascript where crypto is mandatory to implement, and don't implement crypto, their claim to have implemented the protocol is false advertising. But the IETF has no protocol police.
