Well, I hope we can all agree that the document refers to an RFC without a
citation in the references section.

That was definitely the case in November 2018, when the text was added:
https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?difftype=--hwdiff&url2=draft-ietf-rtcweb-security-arch-17.txt

Chrome tried and failed to remove DTLS 1.0 in April 2019:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=10261#c38

But now all major browsers are removing TLS 1.0 and 1.1 support in January
of 2020:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/discuss-webrtc/dtls$201.0%7Csort:date/discuss-webrtc/Dsq_14_WoUk/U2vFXSYlCgAJ
https://security.googleblog.com/2018/10/modernizing-transport-security.html

So, it seems like endpoints that don't support DTLS 1.2 will soon be the
ones "encountering interoperability issues".

Not sure whether a change to draft-ietf-rtcweb-security-arch or an update
in draft-ietf-tls-oldversions-deprecate is better.
