The existing text is talking about which language 
is selected for use in a media stream should that 
media stream be used for interactive 
communication; the proposed wording instead talks 
about a language that may or may not be used in a 
media stream, which doesn't seem correct to me. 
Since we already have text (as noted earlier) 
that explicitly says that not all negotiated 
media streams need be used, I don't see a problem 
with leaving the text as is.
