This is covered in the draft that is referenced.  "webrtc" is just a
token that means: ICE *AND* DTLS + SCTP + Data Channel Protocol
multiplexed with SRTP (see
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-transports, which defines
the protocol set; and
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thomson-rtcweb-alpn, which defines
the token).

> Also, I think it is not coherent because you are calling "turn" subprotocol to TURN tunneled over an HTTP CONNECT. So, following your reasoning, you should call it "webrtc" , given that TURN isn't inherently useful, after all.

Yes, I think that I would prefer this.  I think that I did raise that
point, or should have.  I didn't really get the time to follow up, so
thanks for highlighting this.
