[RTW] [dispatch] RTCWEB I-D with thoughts on the framework

I agree to large parts of the document, and I think that the section on interoperability with existing VoIP gear brings up important aspects.

However, I am not completely comfortable with a couple of things:
* The application would be responsible for rate adaptation, but what is the incentive for the application developer to do something that is fair to other applications or users? I would prefer that this is part of the browser (and with the auto update feature most browsers use the update cycles could be short anyway)
* Are you suggesting that the <video> (and consequently also the <audio>) tag should not be used? I don't think this is a good idea. Since they are accepted and used by the web community we should use them also for RTC-Web rather than trying to invent something new.
