Well, the IETF's AVT group has a strong component of telephony (really VoIP/Video) people, so it's not that surprising. Most of the "web" people would be focused on the W3C side of things, and have minimal interest in the plumbing. ;-) Mostly only in how the exposed interfaces affect them, but they (generic website/app developers) haven't really seen what's proposed yet - and most of them don't even follow the W3C, which is more major site vendors and browser people I believe. I straddle both - long-term core Mozilla contributor, now employee, but in the interim spent 7 years working on videophones. But I'm no expert on website/javascript-library design. (Mozilla does have people more focused on that involved.) > Well, I'm working for a telco.

The world has turned upside down.. We (browser vendors) have a strong focus on getting something deployable, without unduly limiting potential innovation. We also (as has been mentioned) have concerns over complexity exposed and the resultant reliance on (rarely-if-ever-updated) JS frameworks. Quite honestly, the largest problem we have is NOT signalling; one way or another media and data channels can get open and negotiated. The biggest problem and hardest one to "solve" (it's not truly "solvable") is security and privacy and the user-interaction aspects of that. The technical issues of signalling, congestion control, and data channels are all eminently resolvable (even if there is no universally-agreed 'best' solution). Security and privacy are far harder, and the solutions less satisfying. So, if you have brain cycles to born, spend them on security, IMHO.
