Re: Summary of stats discussion in Boston

One last thing.  This was staring me in the face just now:

"""The order that dictionary members are looked up on the ECMAScript
object are not necessarily the same as the object’s property
enumeration order. """

That would seem to indicate that a dictionary is most appropriate.
Unless you felt constrained by the WebIDL for your Java implementation
of RTCPeerConnection.
