alvestrand has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-extensions:

== Consider an API for non-delivered messages in SCTP datachannels ==
Since I entered a discussion where someone was hoping that datachannels would tell them when they were unable to deliver a message (at the moment they don't):

Perhaps we should consider:

a) whether SCTP_SEND_FAILED_EVENT from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6458#section-6.1.11 reliably indicates "this message has been discarded from the send queue and delivery (or non-delivery) can't be guaranteed" (in spec, and/or in current implementations)

b) whether that indication should be reflected as some kind of event on the datachannel API.

Only makes sense for unreliable datachannels, I think.
This is definitely an extension, not something for WebRTC-1.0.
