I am not aware of spec encouraging such implementations, and I don't know if everyone implementing WebRTC clients is going to be aware that TURN servers can provide useful information about the mapped IP address.  Perhaps it just needs a few sentences in an appropriate spec?

That network assigns RFC6598 addresses to each Burning Man "camp", and their ISP provides CGN'd addresses to Burning Man.  Each camp operates its own WiFi network, and we can all reasonably assume they are using typical consumer or SMB NAPT devices for those networks (e.g., D-Link, Linksys, Ubiquity, etc.).  To avoid tromboning camp-to-camp WebRTC traffic to their ISP's CGN, they would benefit from a STUN and a TURN server within the Burning Man network.
