Re: [rtcweb] Isolating data channels (Re: Asking TLS for help with media isolation)

The subject is largely speculative, but when it comes to solutions,
the problem will not be a lack of options, but an inability to choose
a "right" one.

I assume that you are talking PPID here.  Given that it's off limits
for JavaScript currently, then it does provide an opportunity for this
communication.  The problem there is that you need to spin up data
channels, even if the application has no need of them.  That's a
fairly high cost.
