No quite, it's shorthand for "there is a proposal that has been submitted in which the problem in question does not need to be solved", with one of two options: "either the problem has been solved", or "the problem simply does not need to be solved (by us, with a standard)". I reject your thesis for one simple reason: scope. As it turns out, "does not need to be solved" doesn't go to 100%. Some problems are deferred to applications. Intentionally. Because a) they are better at that than we are, clearly, and b) they don't necessarily want our crappy solutions. How long have we talked about BUNDLE? How long do you think that it would take someone with a functioning RTP library to build something that multiplexes and demultiplexes RTP streams? Negotiation is a hole. A vast, soul-sucking, waste of time.
