Re: [webrtc-svc] https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-svc/#rtcrtpcodeccapability* is redundant with https://w3c.github.io/media-capabilities/#dom-videoconfiguration-scalabilitymode (#49)

@chcunningham WebRTC has been implemented on devices with codecs only available in hardware (encoders or decoders or both).  The workarounds in WebRTC are a bit clumsy (e.g. having to call createOffer() prior to getCapabilities()), and unpredictable (e.g. it is difficult for an application to guarantee access to resources).  I suspect this is what is motivating the MC explorations. At the moment it is not a "hair on fire" situation, although at some point if 4K video and hardware-accelerated next generation codecs become widespread, it isn't hard to imagine the issues limiting the ability to implement use cases like AR/VR.
