jan-ivar has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc:

== Firing signalingstatechange early and synchronously invites trouble ==
When we set local/remote descriptions, we _"fire a simple event named signalingstatechange at connection"_—which reduces to synchronously calling JS callbacks—and we do this *before* most of the actual work.

Suppose JS calls `pc.close()` in that event/callback.
Which of the remaining steps do we do?


We've dealt with similar problems in the past (https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/pull/1720) by deferring firing of events to the end of the algorithm. I think we need to do that here as well. That way it would stil fire before SLD/SRD succeeds, like now.

This would change the timing somewhat, but hopefully for the better.
