"I'm persuaded by "default components" for the sake of making simple things simple, but I'm not at all persuaded by the compatibility argument.  If someone wants to make custom RTP payloads/packetizations or use SCTP instead of RTP, let them."

[BA] As long as you have "default components" then custom components need only be developed when they are required.   

In those cases where custom components are needed, presumably the developers understand their interoperability requirements - they know whether their custom RTP payload developed in the browser application needs to be able to talk to an equivalent custom module developed for their mobile application.
