Hi,
being in the process of scanning all the drafts with -rtcweb- in them, I 
came across these two:

draft-nandakumar-rtcweb-stun-uri-00.txt
draft-nandakumar-rtcweb-turn-uri-00.txt

Just three comments:

- I think it's not RTCWEB business. They should be pointed at the home 
group for STUN/ICE.
- I do not think it's appropriate to use "turn" and "turns" for 
indicating transport. Polluting the URI namespace with more 
configuration parameters in the form of trailing "s" is a Bad Thing.
- Passing passwords in URIs is generally a Bad Practice. If you really 
want this in this case, please explore the implications thereof fully in 
the Security Considerations section.

Good luck with the discussion (elsewhere)!

                  Harald
