Yes, this seems right.
The WebRTC API spec should then just mention the rounding of the 
durations and alignment with the ptime, and the IETF RTCWEB audio spec 
should be specific about how to do the interleaving and relative timing 
of audio and DTMF.

So, for the API spec:
Default duration is 100 ms and default gap is 70 ms. The transmission 
timing and duration used will be aligned by extension if needed to use 
the same packet transmission time and interval as the audio stream.

And the details in an RTCWEB spec.
