The only value I can see would be users being able to set bitrates 
without absorbing the (more complicated) transceiver model.

The spec seems to say about reuse that "Doing so will cause future calls 
to createOffer and createAnswer to mark the corresponding media 
description as sendrecv or sendonly, as defined in [JSEP]. "

Which seems to be about reusing m-lines for subsequent O/A. Is it also 
about being able to send instantly, without O/A?
