I absolutely don't want to discount the extensive collective experience and knowledge of how RTC works that went behind the document - but I have a hard time treating this proposal as coming from a major browser vendor. A proposal from the team behind Skype or Lync is different from a proposal that comes from the IE team. In particular, I strongly disagree with the statement that the existing proposal does not honor "key web tenets". As ekr wrote in his analysis, the web has moved away from a completely stateless model for a while now. In fact, PeerConnection is already more low-level than I would have preferred, especially when compared to the original proposal from Ian Hickson. I don't fully grasp how the significantly more complex Javascript API proposed in the document is actually beneficial to the modern web as a whole. -Anant
