MS/Skype has triggered a very important discussion in an area much
discussed already, but where more careful though and work in both w3c and ietf is

My vote is on "1" and with the hope that we as a group including Microsoft will find ways to solve SDP and O/A challenges, securing W3C and IETF coordination.

best regards
