Re: [rtcweb] SDP Offer/Answer draft-jennings-rtcweb-signaling

So I might have messed up the draft a bit. I'm fine with things can be implemented as dialog statefull, what I want is that it is possible to make a signaling gateway that is only transaction statefull. I'm fine if some signaling gateways are built as dialog statefull.

 (As a side note, some B2BUA are effectively transaction statefull but that is pretty rare )

My personal opinion is that to be able to clean up all the state in a clean an easy way, we should add some message to indicate the SDP offer / answer state and related media streams can be discarded.  I'd like to add that to the next version.
