Hi,

You CAN do serial forking also with cloning (or, as suggested by Martin, simply setting additional local descriptors).

I am not blindly suggesting to remove PRANSWER (I have been one of the defenders for having it). It's part of the more general "JSEP Offer/Answer Usage" issue, which we DO need to make sure we get right.

I have no problem with that. But, again, we do need to get the JSEP O/A sorted out. My suggesting is still that the base should be RFC 3264, and if we need to "relax" things we should very carefully look at those cases.

Sure. I'd attend such call.
