Re: Next steps on RTCRtpSender "doohickey" proposal

(as contributor) +1 from me.

One nit: The following should be legal:

addTrack(track, streamId1)
addTrack(track, streamId2)

this means that one track should be presented to the receiver as part of 
two streams.

I've recorded Justin's summary as part of bug 25497.
