I don't think we should list a set of RECOMMENDED codecs. If we were 
talking just G.722, iLBC, etc., I might be persuaded. But this is a 2119 
RECOMMENDED, which is a bit stronger than "Gee, it would be nice," and 
given the aforementioned IPR situation, Mozilla is not likely to be 
deploying any of the AMR family anytime soon.

If the goal is interoperability with deployed systems, you're going to 
implement what you need to implement to achieve that, and nothing we 
write down in an RFC will change what that needs to be.
