Is there such a concept as "next call" in a PeerConnection?

With "serial forking" by using PRANSWER, I take it we can have a 
PeerConnection pointing at multiple endpoints, but I have been making 
the assumption that once you enter the "closed" state, there is no way back.

If you want to remember constraints on a next call, just create a new 
PeerConnection object and apply the constraints you want to it.

Therefore, it seems logical to me that an application should restart ICE by creating a new offer with a new ufrag/pwd and installing it via setLocalDescription. This offer could either be generated manually, by munging the ice-ufrag/pwd fields in the output of createOffer, or by creating a new constraint/hint which indicated that a new ufrag/pwd should be generated.
