I have a different view: I think we should remove this part completely
from the spec, everything that has to do with PeerConnection and SDP and
so on should be documented in the WebRTC draft. That makes it more
modular, and in addition makes the addition of a future, SDP free, API
for sending streams/tracks over the net cleaner.
