Yes, ICE is designed with offer/answer in mind. If it were designed for a
more flexible signaling scheme it could have been designed differently. All
I am saying that now, in order to support such more flexible scheme ICE
would have to be redesigned. This makes it different from things like codec
negotiation, which can be used with non offer-answer designs without major
changes.
