Huh. I see the following (cf. 
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview-13#section-2.2>):

In terms of the text you cited about the relationship between terms, 
which is an outdated version of:

If you think you see somewhere that we're imposing a requirement on an 
endpoint that doesn't *also* apply to a browser, please call it out 
explicitly.

If this is some oblique attempt to complain about the reference to the 
-12 version of the overview document [1]  by pretending to be daft [2]: 
you're not fooling anyone, so you can stop it. You may be misguided, but 
we all know that you're not stupid.
