== Unit of RTCRtpEncodingParameters::maxBitrate is only implicitly defined ==
The WebRTC spec does not explicitly specify the unit of [RTCRtpEncodingParameters::maxBitrate](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#dom-rtcrtpencodingparameters-maxbitrate). Rather, the value of the field itself is defined as the `TIAS bandwidth` from [RFC3890](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3890). In [Section 6.2.2](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3890#section-6.2.2) of that RFC, it's clear that the `maxBitrate` field should be set in `bps`.

In order to help novice users/quick readers of the spec, it might be worth spelling out the unit explicitly in the spec itself.
