This can turn out to be seriously problematic if we don't constrain it 
carefully - when we wrote this, my thinking was that it meant "if 
devices send and receive media in formats that we support, and the setup 
is performed in a reasonable way through intermediaries, we should be 
able to send media directly to them".

I see the use case that we *have* to support as the browser-to-browser 
use case. If we are able to support other use cases too, that is a good 
thing, but very much a lower priority to me. Opinions may differ.
