I see commented-out text about these bandwidth descriptions:

    The <max-bw-ti> Element

      The <max-bw-ti> element defined as the <max-bw>
      element with the following exceptions.
      
      The given bandwidth limit is transport independent and
      therefore does not include include the bandwidth needed for
      lower-layer transport and network protocols (e.g., UDP and
      IP).

      The bandwidth limit is given in bits per second (i.e., not in 
      kilobits per second).

      The <max-bw-ti> element MAY have the following
      attribute (see <xref target="sec_attributes" />): pprate.  

   The maxprate attribute

      The <max-bw-ti> element has an optional attribute
      'maxprate'. The "maxprate" value is the maximum packet rate
      calculated over all the declared media streams.  If this can't
      be measured (stored media) or estimated (live), the sum of all
      media level values provides a ceiling value.

      All other attributes and merging rules are defined as for the 
      <max-bw> element.

Do people think these data are significant, or can they be safely omitted from
the media-policy-dataset?
