Re: SDP wrapper? Object-oriented API?

Well, at least *part* of the problem with SDP is its format. Even without
reading the docs, you can form some vague idea of what
peerConnection.createOffer() does. But without reading a whole bunch of
documentation, would you have the slightest idea what this meant?

o=- 1323097501 1323097509 IN IP4 o=- 1323097501 1323097509 IN IP4
10.74.202.239

For the record, I have no idea what it means. I'm just a standard
full-stack coder, not a VOIP expert. But in my opinion, the minute someone
who wants to use WebRTC has to start asking what that line means, it means
the folks designing the API have some more work to do. CSS positioning is a
nightmare, but it's a model of clarity compared to SDP.
