Hi. Just my opinion:

Having WebSocket protocol I don't see the need for a separate/specific
data transfer protocol within WebRTC. WebSocket already allows
bidirectional traffic for carrying long text or binary data (I means
even GigaBytes of data).

Also, HTML5 offers some cool features for "downloading" data received
by the JavaScript code. See a demo:
