Right, but what it has meant to do that in Offer / Answer cases has been that these are alternative encoding of same capture and not different captures. I think we need to have the signaling be explicit about the meaning if it is supposed to mean something different than that. Note, I'm not against an extension that indicates specific semantics that are different that the current O/A ones, but just it would need to be defined and signaled. The plan A seem to avoid needing to argue about this and at the same time make it easy to define theses semantics and signal them if CLUE or someone other user of RTP needs that.
