My intention was to show that the general functionality do work when
combing an RTCWEB end-point and a SIP end-point. Yes, you need some
functionality on the signaling plane to adopt the two worlds. I don't
think it is that complex. The SIP GW may in fact be the Webapp itself
that has a JS SIP stack and a bit of logic around that. It can also be
in the webserver, or third signalling GW node that are connected to the
webserver for the RTCWEB service. I think all of these cases works. Thus
no need for standardizing the gateway function.
