This looks good to me.

Subject: A small proposal to cleanup DataChannel construction.

I've noticed that createDataChannel and the RTCDataChannel contructor overlap in functionality.  And since almost all of the current API is based around using constructors instead of factory methods, I think we can cleanup the overlap and make it consistent with the rest of the API by doing the following:


[Constructor(RTCDataTransport transport,

RTCDataChannelParameters parameters)]

interface RTCDataChannel : EventTarget {

   readonly attribute RTCDataTransport transport;

   readonly attribute RTCDataChannelParameters parameters;

   void send (Object data);

   attribute EventHandler ondata;

};


interface RTCDataTransport {

}


interface RTCSctpTransport : RTCDataTransport {

 // ...

}


The difference is basically that:
1. We no longer have a createDataChannel method, and just call the constructor instead.
2. RTCDataChannel no longer relies directly on SctpTransport. In the future, we could have a different kind of DataTransport and have DataChannels that work with it (we aren't as tightly coupled to SCTP).
