I think it may be possible to dodge the device definition problem by saying:

All implementations of the rtcweb specification must implement at least one of  VP8 or H.264, 
implementations that also implement the w3c’s webRTC javascript  API must implement  both VP8 and H264

- The latter requirement would also need to be blessed by the w3c of course.
