     Right, the bundle spec does not tell us what to do here, which is a 
hole in that spec. When you have trickle ICE, it is currently impossible 
for the offerer to indicate which ICE transport it intends to reuse 
where, because the c-line is not necessarily stable. Therefore, we need 
one of two things:

1. Specific rules about what transports are reused when. Absent any such 
rules, "transport follows m-section" is the simplest assumption.

or

2. Some way for the offerer to unambiguously signal which transport it 
wants to use for each bundle/lone m-section, that does not rely on the 
c-line. Maybe some sort of tag for each transport.
