Imagine that one of the video streams is a document camera running at high res but low frame rate while the other is video of the speaker running at a higher frame rate.  What exactly does the SDP passed from the browser to the JS applications look like.  I agree the applications can do whatever it wants to communicate the relevant data to the far end so I don't care about  the signaling protocol or JSON  that JS app can send across the wire. But next question, can the far end start sending media immediately to the browser? Finally the far end does something that causes the applications to generate an SDP answer from the JS applications to Alice's browser. I want and example of that that looks like in the cases where the far end a) accepted all the video streams and b) rejected some but not all of the video streams.

Yes, that makes sense. I was assuming all the streams would be on the same PeerConnection

Uh, not sure that would help much. The issues is that current standards don't say what the browsers should do and we have two proposal on how the browsers could implement this. One proposal from Mozilla and one proposal from Google. I don't think either browser implements exactly the corresponding proposal yet but they are trying to figure out what to do. We need to agree on roughly what is passed across the JS API such that the browser know how to set up the media stack to send and receive the appropriate RTP that is desired by the JS application.
