IMO the key here is that we are thinking it through. It may turn out that there are no new requirements on RTCWEB. But then that decision will have been made consciously, rather than by default. I'm all for allowing independent things to be dealt with independently, rather than including everything in one big mash up. But finding where to draw the lines between things isn't always easy.
