IIUC rtcweb is predicated on the assumption that there is a single entity orchestrating the "system" including both of the endpoints of the sctp association. You therefore assume that you can a priori assume that both ends conform to your "systems document". A sip endpoint doesn't have that. A major purpose of the signaling and the O/A exchange is to find out what we agree to. We won't know in advance if the other endpoint follows the CLUE "systems document". ISTM that you are defining things so that we must use some mechanism to negotiate an application-specific agreement between the two ends about use of data channels *before* using any data channels. With the ejzak draft we can use the O/A to negotiate a specific clue subprotocol, and then have a reasonable expectation that we can follow our own documentation of that protocol to go on. Using DCEP would be more straightforward, especially for browser based endpoints. But if we can't even depend on support of DCEP when we have a data channel SCTP association, then DCEP is less useful.
