Thank you for updating the document.

The reference to FIR should be changed to RFC5104
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5104#section-4.3.1
Was there some discussion around including RPSI (Reference Picture
Selection Indication) for implementations that support it?

In IETF 89 (Vancouver) and IETF 90 (London) XRBLOCK discussed
additional statistics for WebRTC [1,2].
Of these burst discard and burst loss were particularly found
interesting, note that those documents are not WG documents and not
all metrics documented there have WG consensus. But discussion about
them in XRBLOCK would be really useful.

Clarification, target bitrate is calculated by the congestion control,
and not necessarily the amount sent or produced by the SSRC.

A different document would definitely be useful.

I dont know much about the living document or where it would hosted,
in the wiki -- as it is now?
But then there is the expired Internet draft:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-alvestrand-rtcweb-stats-registry-00
I prefer the IETF document because it closely follows the metric
naming conventions defined by IPPM in
RFC6390 and all the metrics defined in XR Block follow those
conventions as well.
