IIUC, Gunnar is expecting that virtually every app that provides real 
time voice communication should also provide RTT. (And this has a habit 
of showing up as a legal mandate.)

Leaving the decision about how to transport RTT to be reinvented by each 
application doesn't seem like a good way to achieve that.

If that is good enough for RTT, then why not voice and video too? Just 
send it over a data channel in any format you like. We don't need to 
standardize how to do it.
