Hi Emil,

a couple of comments:

"1.  Expose the SSRCs of all local MediaStreamTrack-s that the
        application may want to attach to a PeerConnection."

I don't think that would be possible, or desirable. SSRC _only_ come 
into play when a MediaStreamTrack is to be transported over the network 
- it is useless in local cases. And, the same local MediaStreamTrack 
could be sent to several peers (using different PeerConnections) and 
could have different SSRC's (and even different number of SSRC's) for 
the different peers.

I think SSRCs would only be available for MediaStreamTracks that are 
attached to a PeerConnection.

One thing I like about Plan A and B is that the naive application 
developer does not have to deal with things below MediaStream and 
MediaStreamTrack level. The application would simply add a MediaStream 
(containing MediaStreamTracks) to the PeerConnection, do the 
createOffer/setLocal and exchange signaling blobs that it need not look 
into, and the MediaStream with MediaStreamTrack's would be reflected at 
the remote end. The application would not have to deal with PT's, SSRC's 
etc.

I think that the "No Plan" proposal could be made similar if the info 
about how MediaStreamTrack's relate to SSRC's (including those for FEC 
and RTX) is exchanged using some blobs that the (naive) app can just 
exchange and need not look into.

If done that way, "No Plan" seems to me to be quite similar to Plan B, 
with the difference being that the info about how SSRC's relate to 
MediaStreamTrack's is exchanged not in the core SDP but in separate 
messages. This could be seen as an improvement I think.

Stefan
