Re: [rtcweb] Microsoft tells W3C and IETF what we are doing no signs of offering real world interoperability

Note also that pre- and post-processing of media are not covered by this
proposal, those concepts are in the domain of MediaStream (and
post-processing is possible today through various methods).

In fact, I think the primary novel features of this proposal are:
- SessionDescriptions are true objects, instead of wrappers around SDP
- Additional control over the ICE Agent

However, no use cases have yet been outlined that require this
functionality.
