Do you know what were the objections for rejecting multiple RTPSenders 
for simulcast (with ssrc-multiplexing over same transport)?
  It is something that needs to be supported anyway by the browser and 
given that each layer is an independent encoder there should be no 
performance penalty.

I mean, currently we can do this (in pseudocode)

RTPSender.send({
     encodings: [
         {ssrc:1,pt:100,codec:vp8,},
         {ssrc:2,pt:100,codec:vp8,resolutionScale: 2.0},
     ]
})

or

RTPSender1.send({
     encodings: [
         {ssrc:1,pt:100,codec:vp8,},
     ]
})

RTPSender2.send({
     encodings: [
         {ssrc:2,pt:100,codec:vp8,resolutionScale: 2.0},
     ]
})

Both will produce the same result
