FWIW, this is one area where Ian and I still don't agree; I think SDP is
a representation format we need to avoid, and that we're better off with
a JSON-based format where the relevant information can be easily
transformed into SDP when needed.
This is what the current Google WebRTC implementation supports.
We fully agree that the format needs to be
a) documented
b) possible to map into SDP for gatewaying purposes
