Exactly. The problem with the current spec is that:

- It forces the developer to retrieve a SDP from the PeerConnection (via
createOffer) and then to pass it back again to the same PeerConnection (via
setLocalDescription).

- At the same time it "recommends" not to mangle the SDP between those
steps.

- But it allows it, this is, the developer is able (by spec) to mangle it.

- But... the spec does not clearly define what he can modify, and depending
on the implementation that may work or not.
