I'm hesitant to do these changes since they don't enable, or make it 
significantly easier to enable, anything that's not possible with the 
current API. I see these as convenience things that some developers find 
useful; and as you show, it's rather easy to derive these features from 
the information provided by the current API. I would be more concerned 
if you couldn't write a shim for this in 50, or so, lines of code.

(third bullet) I would suggest using the open event on the creating side 
for this. You get the channel from the target property of the event, and 
the channel is in the open state; same state as in the "datachannel" 
event handler on the receiving side.
