Re: [rtcweb] rtcweb-transports reference to TRAM discovery

So, I think it's important that we have some way to encourage deployment 
of TURN servers both in the ISPs, and as part of firewalls (both 
residential and enterprise). By putting TURN in paths that are already 
going to bear the traffic in question, the overall cost associated with 
calls goes down, and call quality (latency, loss) improves.

I'm sympathetic to the position that we don't want to give these 
entities specific hooks to force specific servers to be inserted into 
the flow. We need to find a balance here: something that allows the 
relevant entities to deploy and advertise such servers; something that 
allows WebRTC applications to discover and use them; and something that 
puts the ultimate decision in the hands of the users. Off the top of my 
head, adding a browser API that allows applications to  to retrieve 
these servers and elect to use them if it wants to would serve part of 
the purpose; giving users a means by which they can instruct the browser 
not to return such a list would serve the remainder.

But that's all kind of orthogonal to the IETF issues: if we're going to 
do *anything* in this space, we need the discovery mechanisms.
