Agree. That RFC is way too focused on ONE application, the phone call.

Your own example of Bridge line appearance will need two implementation by the single vendor because desktop application or hardphone implementation based on SIP and browser based implementation is depend on HTTP metadata. It is possible to avoided by having one signaling protocol.

Right.

SIP has already been integrated with years of work of telephone-based paradigms. It's there and we have it. Let's not force that into RTCweb because it will make it way too complex and be an issue when it comes to interoperability between browsers, because most will implement selected parts only (like in SIP today). We don't want that.

I already face that interoperability problem each time I attend SIPit - which btw is open for registration at www.sipit.net for all of you that work with development of SIP apps and devices and need to test interoperability ;-)
