I want to be very clear and careful on what I say. So I am repeating:

* My comment that I think Eric is right in that there is consensus on 
providing APIs that allow most use-cases to be met without SDP mangling 
is meant only in that context: SDP O/A is kept (and PeerConnection more 
or less as is and so on).

I don't think Martin or anyone else objected to this in Lyon or at any 
other discussion.

It is also true that an alternative API proposal, CU-rtcweb, was brought 
forward to the WebRTC WG earlier during 2012. The WG took this under 
consideration, and (at that time) decided to continue developing based 
on the PeerConnection API including SDP O/A.

I think the discussion in Lyon only evolved around PeerConnection (wiht 
SDP O/A), we did not discuss other API alternatives.
