Re: [Bug 22594] noaccess / peerIdentity as constraints

To be honest, I don't care which WG document this is specified in. When
we initially agreed to put identity into the specifications, the guidance
was to put the pieces that were arguments to gUM in the media capture
spec and the pieces that were relevant to WebRTC in the WebRTC spec.

If people prefer they all go in WebRTC, that seems like a not very important
document structure question. But maybe I'm missing the bigger picture :)
