[BA] Those are the relevant RFCs I would gather from the "Unified Plan" doc, but of course it makes no sense to define an API to control FEC without knowing what specific FEC schemes are going to be supported.   Such an API wouldn't just potentially differ in specifics between browser implementations, it might not potentially interoperate over the wire.
