Not 100%, but close.  noaccess creates a potential for something
*like* peerIdentity.  However, it significantly dilutes the assurances
a browser can make to a user.  It also doesn't restrict the set of
recipients in any way, including the fact that access is not
exclusive.

At best it does is allow a user agent to identify where media is
going.  The real value, however, is to the receiver of a stream, who
can see where the media came from.
