[BA] I'm not sure that the concept of "isolation" makes sense for those
intermediaries (or to voicemail or an audio/video conference, for that
matter).   While in a point-to-point call it might be useful, in a
conference the whole point is to have audio/video sent to multiple parties,
and recording is commonplace.  The problem is that from a protocol point of
view the cases are not easily distinguishable -- and so if the browser
insists on "isolation" then one wonders what will happen if the conference
bridge/video MCU/voicemail system refuses to negotiate it.   Refusing to
send media would not be a desirable outcome.
