Re: [rtcweb] RTCWEB and emergency services

I'm waiting for the draft to read in context, but what I hear Bernard 
saying is:

"IF the RTCweb service falls within the scope of 911 regulations
THEN here are some things it needs to consider...."

Some RTCWeb services will certainly not fall within the scope of 911 
regulations.
If someone creates a service where it does matter (sets out to emulate a 
phone perfectly in the browser, for instance) they may very well find 
themselves in a situation where they do become subject to regulation, 
and in that case, the implementor may have benefit from reading 
Bernard's draft (or the document that eventually results from it).

All other service implementors can disregard it.

I hope....
