<as a roap co-author> Noted and will try to do that in the next version. I expect a future version of API draft to change to have a reference to ROAP which will make this all much easier to explain. 

The main thing I want to emphasize is that if we go down the ROAP path, it does not mandate you have to use ROAP. If you want to implement SIP in JS, or your own special protocol, that is all just fine. It's just one think you could use if you wanted and I would expect to see some Web to SIP gateways implement it.  It also does not stop the definition of a low level API. It could exist side by side with things using a low level API.
