Hi Stefan,

You insist that "there is consensus on keeping SDP O/A but providing a
better API". Given current discussions IMHO it is clear there is not
such a consensus (not at all). Or may be you are just talking about
two years ago in some IETF meeting (if so I'm sorry).

Please review the results in
https://docs.google.com/a/aliax.net/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuaKXw3SkHMSdHlZdV9RN0xSWFhybVl4anJLRkVPV0E#gid=1

  Bad for advanced stuff: 94%
  OK for 1.0: 40%

IMHO such a result indicates all but "let's keep SDP O/A and improve a
bit the API" (I mean now, in July 2013).


Best regards.
